Replying to @visakanv
My mutuals mostly came from blog readership initially, but once twitter account acquired a life of its own I mostly follow people based on interesting responses to one of my prompt games or crowdsourcing questions. I do little to no "chain following". It's all primary.

In general, I don't rely on social proof at all on twitter (ie follow because others follow). I rely on it as a negative signal on Facebook (if mutual friends list has certain characteristics, I decline the friending)
