first impressions
I realised earlier that when people follow me on Twitter, I have a ritual to decide if I follow them back: I skim their most recent (say 6 or 7) tweets and make a call based entirely on this shallow analysis of their interests and personality.
This six or seven tweet insight forms a kind of ever-changing first impression. You're only as interesting as your last 7 tweets. Or something.
If you follow me and I didn't return the gesture, don't feel bad. I'm just fickle and just lazy. And look, here are my last seven tweets. They make me look really boring. I wouldn't follow me ;)

That's pretty much how I make the call, 7 is probably the number you can take in in less than a couple of seconds.
I don't think it's fair to count direct @s
it's not about fair.. it's about lazy, sweeping judgements ;)
my first impression of someone in the real world can be affected by witnessing them talking to someone else....
