Patrick Schwerdtfeger discusses the process of proactively following people in your field or location (on Twitter) and having some percentage of them follow you back.  If you're random and spammy about it, the percentage that follow you back will be low.  But if you're targeted and strategic about it, you can get a high percentage of people following you back, building your Twitter following quickly.
