Though it does seem pretty straight forward at first, it's probably not before you have really put some time into it, that you recognize how useful it can be. I've been using TweetDeck for quite some time, but TweetGrid is pretty new to me. But I think it has one great advantage in that you can share your groups/grids.

One additional item I would add: once you have grasped Twitter, try to remember what a scary place it can be for people starting out. I forgot that particular one and have learnt my lesson! As for dealing with following many people, I think Tweetdeck (as you mentioned) and Tweet Grid (http://tweetgrid.com) are really useful tools. Both allow you to separate out the people you follow into groups (journalists, mates, local folk, etc). Hi Kaspar,
