Mass Follow and Unfollow Twitter Users
One of my Sunday morning Twitter rituals is to unfollow all those who have decided to unfollow me. I am one of the few that subscribe to the reciprocation theory of Twitter – if you follow me I will follow you in return or visa versa. However, many people seem to take advantage of this just to get you to follow in return only to unfollow you later once they got your follow. On this particular morning I have over 2,000 to unfollow. Did you follow that?
One of my followers from Amsterdam (@Jankovitch) caught my tweet regarding my mass unfollowing work and asked me what I used to accomplish this. Because my follower/following numbers are 32,000+ and growing by several thousand a week, I cannot use many of the established services. One I can still use is TWITin.
As most of you know by now Twitter has taken the online marketing world by storm. The phenomenon has even spawned a lingo, with your new tweeps (followers) tweeting (making posts) you and discussing the state of the Twitterverse. While Twitter is pretty easy to use, there’s an overwhelming amount of Twitter tools, plug-ins and applications being developed to support it. How can you determine which ones will best support you in your use of Twitter? Try them out yourself!
It’s no secret that I have thousands of ‘friends’, ‘followers’, and ‘stalkers’ on the various social networking sites. Sure, many I do not know that well (or at all for that matter), but I do take the time to read as many updates from my net friends as time permits.
