ManageTwitter does one thing and it does it well: it allows you to unfollow the people who haven’t followed you back. This is really useful if you’ve been following a ton of a people you’re just overwhelmed with tweets. This tool allows you to cut the volume of your tweets and engage only with the people who are engaged with you.
To use ManageTwitter, just visit their website and click “Start.” You’ll then be prompted to “Connect to Twitter” where you’ll authorize ManageTwitter to connect to your account and begin the clean up operations.
As ManageTwitter looks through your followers/following lists and determines who is on both, it’ll tell you what it’s doing, such as “pondering the meaning of life,” or “readying HackerNews,” or even “looking at lolcats.” You gotta love it when web developers have a sense of humor.
Once your list of non-follower followings is produced, you’ll be given the option to unfollow them 100 at a time. You can spare some tweeples from the cold, harsh unfollow by manually unselecting them or by using the “Deselect Verified” and “Deselect Popular” tools, which should ensure that you spare your favorite tech journalists and social media gurus.
After that, you’re done. Enjoy a much lighter, and happier Twitter experience.
