I have little problem with noise. Following doesn't have to be a mutual thing. There is NO obligation to follow those who follow you. I never auto-follow. I'll only follow you back, if I think your stream looks interesting to me, and if I follow you, and you don't follow me, then that's fine too.

I find it's quite childish to get those that unfollow you within a few hours simply because you didn't follow them back.

Just because you like to read my tweets about green widgets, because you're interested in them, doesn't mean, I find your tweets about red balls equally so.

Two areas that might get a lot of attention in 2009 from third-parties may be noise filters - services that intelligently eliminate inane updates (e.g. remove any mentions about lunch or coffee”) or smarter, easy-to-create groups."
