#4I typically scroll back to catch up with overnight tweets unless I have missed a few days worth either due to travel or busy work schedule. I don't follow just to reciprocate and am very ruthless unfollow people who are noisemakers.

#6I have also been trying to curate lists and I use tweetbot to easily switch between them. I find it is a great way to catch up on one community segment or another.
I wish twitter made list building easier.

#7Don't care catching up. Rapidly reply to tweets if it makes sense while reading the timeline at that time. Usually tweet via buffer and OS X's Notification. Checks twitter mostly while traveling, waiting before a meeting, etc.

#8I follow 30,000 accounts on Twitter. There is no way that anything relevant/interesting shows up on my "feed". I always use the "@Connect" filter so I do not miss any Tweets directed at me. I search on key words or hashtags to follow interesting discussions and get news. I keep a separate tab open to @glenngreenwald since everything he Tweets is interesting.
