I use several of the directories you called out frequently (I especially like the local directory - it has been nice finding new Twitter friends in SoCal). <br/><br/>One thing I typically do if I have a bit of extra time is look at who some of my favorite influencers are following and follow them as well. <br/><br/>Also, the media people on Twitter wiki (https://twitteringjournalists.pbwiki.com/Media-People-Using-Twitter) has been helpful in finding journalists to connect with.

It's completely scalable...so you can unfollow or even block someone if you don't mesh.

I would add to your list some of the common hashtags that one can follow. For example, in public relations, one might want to search #PRadvice #PR #journchat #publicrelations #PRSA #IABC #mediarelations and so on. Thanks for the tips!
