Social news watch has compiled this Twitter follow-back list, which includes Twitter users who will almost always follow you back.

Over time I realized there were many such Twitter tools available which could follow back followers automatically.

Although it is flattering to follow people back who follow you, here are some ways to choose who to follow on Twitter and some common reasons I will not follow you in return on Twitter.
