The thing about Twitter is that you've got to be very selective in whom you follow because you can quickly get overwhelmed with the quantity of Tweets. Use Lists to separate subject matter. Another very good follow is Paul Graham (the founder of Hacker News and Y Comb.).

I wish PG would separate his political discussions to a different handle. It's jarring to be reading his amazing perspectives on the startup world and then see his political posts which I generally don't agree with. Makes me sad.

I, on the other hand, wish PG could be as effective on his political views as he is with startups.

Paul Graham is a great follow and his signal to noise ratio is much higher than pmarca. Also, Graham's tweets about his kids are adorable.

Sam Altman is a good follow too.

Personally I use Nuzzel to aggregate tweets of all those VCs so I can see what links people are sharing en masse. You miss the "zinger" tweets but you also don't have to comb through the noise of 500 tweets an hour. I actually have several Twitter accounts that I use specifically for Nuzzel: I have one for buzzing tech links, buzzing biology links, buzzing literary links, etc.
