Click the “Follow” button below their photos. Some of them will follow you back and some of course some won't. Don’t take it personally if some of them don’t.

Follow people who are relavant to your field of business
Follow colleagues in related companies and in your industry. Follow relevant brands and journalists and pundits in your market, even those who compete with you. It’s polite to follow people. And by following people you are creating an ecosystem—people will see who you are following and consider those as suggestions for users they should follow as well.
Be sure to answer all of your mentions
People will refer to your company’s account as if it were a person. You should reply to tweets that mention you, when relevant. This will give your account more personality and will make those people feel engaged directly with your brand. For example, a person might ask you a question directly: “@wondime Hi. Do you know when Microsoft will be launching their windows media upgrades? Thanks.” “@twitgurureview not saying, but we hope it’s with the next major software release!”
