Does anyone know of or use any third party sites or apps that would allow me to follow more than 2000 twitter users?

How on earth do you manage to read all of it though? Just checked and I follow 140 accounts, even with a couple of lists I probably miss about 75% of what's on my feed...

Have you tried messing around with Tweetdeck?

Ahhh, see that is the thing that took me a while to get - that you can't hope to be across all of it, and should dip in as and when... The thing is, though, that I have found if I browse by keyword or hash tag, the inanity of it all drives me mad, so I like to be able to narrow it down somewhat.

Tweet deck is a good point - haven't used it in a while. A
