Or maybe if you have a follower that is just following for the numbers game, but someone else comes to their profile, finds you, and then genuinely takes interest, you have still made a good connection. I personally like having tons of friends because every time I sign onto a network, I see something new and unique that I may not have found if I was only friends with a few people with the same interests. ~ Kristi Sometimes, having a larger number of followers leads to people stumbling onto your site and finding that they do love it.

I wouldn't suggest deliberately seaking out loads of people and adding them as friends. If they aren't of interest to you then what's the point. It just becomes a noise channel then. Stick with people you find interesting and only follow those that you know or would want to have a converstation with. I tend to follow those that I have converstations with and then remove those that conversation has stopped with as that's become noise. What works for one though doesn't always work for everyone.
