Sometimes it’s the little things that count… and one of those little things is that now that I’m using Gist in replace of my feed reader, twitter reader and facebook newsfeed, I no longer need to worry nearly as much about “who” I follow on sites like Twitter… and no need to pay any more penance for unfollowing people.

Now, if someone is too noisy or uninteresting I just set their importance to 1 out of 100! The result being I’m finding myself willing to follow people much more freely because the noise never has to hit my Gist feed…
