Free SEO Link Checker Tool

Clean Up Your Twitter List

As with most lists on social networking sites, they can often become cluttered. How many people on your Facebook list do you actually know and talk to? I bet it’s not too many. Same goes with Twitter. I recently cleared up the amount of people I was following because they either didn’t tweet enough, or just tweeted too much for my liking. To sort all of this out I used UnTweeps.com, which allows you to sort your contacts on your list by the last time they updated their Twitter status. I set it for 30 days and unfollowed anybody who hadn’t updated within that time period. I shaved my list by about 60 people. This is especially useful if you hit the 2,000 follow limit and can’t find follow anybody else. Follow @chrisjacobson on Twitter.
