Yeah I think what a lot of people mess up on Twitter is not curating their list either through people or block words. You can drastically change your experience of twitter by carefully choosing who and what to follow and by judiciously pruning anything that you don't want to see. The one major gap in that is I'd love to be able to follow or add to a list just an accounts tweets but not their retweets, there are some people I follow that I love their work but they retweet to boost a lot of random chaff I don't really want, so I can't follow or add them to a list because they just dominate/pollute the feed. Lists in particular are a good tool because you can quasi-follow someone on a private list where a) it doesn't show up in your follows if they're someone/thing you don't want showing up in your follows and b) you choose when to go see those things so you can self regulate easier if it's not something you can/should see all the time.
