I don't even understand the question. I went to forums because there was stuff about a certain topic. I follow people on twitter because I like what they write. Sometimes that is about a certain topic, but usually not. Maybe it is the entry point how I got to know them, but not more. Twitter for me is 90% about personal connections, people I've known from work, from IRC, from conferences and sometimes people I've not interacted before. So it's the same as following people's blogs, just micro. I am not subscribing to any curated lists, not following trending topics, etc.pp. Disclaimer: I am following < 150 and < 100 people on my 2 disjunct twitter accounts.
