Follow a few people, tweet a bit and see if they follow back. Don't worry about your numbers; once you get in and get into it a bit, your network will grow organically. People who follow scores of people without tweeting a few times look spammy. Building on the previous comments, I’d add “pace yourself” and “seek balance” to the list of strategies.

That way you don't barge in looking like an idiot, and instead can get accustomed to the behaviours, standards, etc. expected of you on Twitter, and follow suit.
