Personal I find it disturbing and strange someone to follow me but not allow me to follow him/her. Twitter is definitely outside zone for many but what's the point of being on it if you're just going to hide? Privacy setting make much more sense in Facebook where sharing is more of personal things. So here are some more good reasons why you should NOT protect your tweets.
