Beware the follow button

I've been trying to build up my social presence, so I've been following a multitude of people in Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest. I keep getting these messages that people have followed me back, mostly WA people, and that is so very cool.
Also a number of people I didn't follow saw me and followed me. So I try to return the favor and follow them back. So I go down the list of new followers and just start hitting the follow button. Follow, follow, follow, follow. It's so fun, I can't believe I'm getting this much attention.
Then later I click on my Pinterest page, and have one of those sudden OMG moments.

It turns out I blindly followed a page called Naked Beauty. Oh, they are indeed beautiful. They are also very naked. Maybe that would be fine on my laptop, but not so fine on my work computer.
So now I'm hitting unfollow, unfollow, unfollow ...
