Is it a good idea to follow everybody automatically on Twitter?
It may have been an alright thing to do a few years ago, but these days there are just too many spammers and marketers promoting their crap for you to follow everyone.
Do you really want to follow an account that only promotes things?
Twitter isn’t like Facebook – their are no friends. It doesn’t need to be a recprical relationship for two people to see each others tweets. Therefore, if you’re not actually interested in what someone has to say, don’t both following them.
By far the best approach is to take a quick look at the profiles of your new followers and see what they’re tweeting. This way you won’t risk following a bunch of people who only put out noise. Remember the best Twitter experiences happen with people you can relate to and respect.
Following everyone will also potentially damage your brand. You run the risk of looking like you’re only on Twitter for the sake of marketing. And that’s a sure-fire way to get people to ignore you.
So is it a good idea to simply follow everybody who follows you. No! Be selective and and start enjoying twitter.

Good Post. Following too many people does not help, there are high chances of you missing on imp info that was shared. Also one can create a list on twitter ( must read tweets ). This really helps and works too.
