I use buzzom to do mass unfollows but I also have some people locked so the won’t be lumped in that removal process.

Unfollowing everyone who isn’t following you is part of building a following using a follow back type system. By selecting active people with similar interest, you can reduce the number of people who don’t follow back.

Using a third party client to unfollow everyone not following you speeds up the process, but it will also sometimes unfollow people you want to follow regardless (People like John Chow, Shoemoney, etc..).

I just have a private list of people who I always go back and follow after unfollowing everyone who doesn’t follow me.

That was kind of confusing, I hope that made sense?

Too many RTs can be annoying. I’m even sometimes guilty of retweeting too much.

Too many personal tweets can be annoying too. That’s one thing I love about Tweepi. You can see what type of balance people have in their tweets and if they interact with others.

Give Tweepi a try. I think you’ll be able to find a lot of people you connect with.

Wow, 500 inactive followers? That’s a lot. Doesn’t it feel nice having a much cleaner following list?

Shifts tweeting sounds a little crazy. I know some people use extra people to tweet some links, but I think all personal interaction should be done by the main account holder.

I’ve never tried Twitter Karma. I’ll have to check it out.

I’ve really come to like Tweepi. It isn’t as fast as some of the other alternatives, but I love how customizable it is. I hope you find it to be as helpful as I have.

I really disagree with step 6. OK, we should unfollow spammers, but not he people who don’t follow us back. That’s nice thing about Twitter, it’s not like Facebook, you don’t have to follow someone who is not interesting to you. You can follow me, but I won’t follow you if I don’t find your tweets interesting.

I use Twitter Karma to mass unfollow those who don’t follow me back. Also helps to unfollow inactive tweeters.

I like the idea of Tweepi – going to take a look now.

Unless you create a stir or make a fool of yourself it’s hard to get on the radar of people with large following in Twitter. Guess the higher your number of followers the lower your level of engagement with your followers becomes. That’s inevitable, unless of course you’ve people on shifts aside from you to tweet on your behalf.

Seth’s post is great. I’ve read that, too. I used one of his recommended apps and got rid of 500+ inactive followers at one go. I also got rid of people who don’t follow back.
