\"\"<\/a>I seen plenty of tips on what your Twitter profile should look like. What you should do on Twitter to engage with your followers. Even what you shouldn’t do on Twitter. But I don’t recall reading much on the topic of how to clean up who you are following. Over time the number of people you follow will grow, and it should always grow. But you should actually take a few minutes to clean out who you are following. Why would you want to do this?<\/p>\n

Well Twitter has a followers to following ratio. You might actually find yourself at a point where you can’t follow more than 2000 people because you don’t have enough people following you. If this happens the only thing you can do is delete who you are following so you can add more. Here is where you would need help in determining who to remove.<\/p>\n

There is actually a very fast and easy way to do this clean up. I use a website called untweeps.com<\/a>. This site will link to your Twitter account and then give you a list of people you are following that haven’t made a post in XX number of days. Example, have it give you a list of everyone who has not posted in 365 days. Unfollow all of them. If someone has not made one post in the last year, you don’t need to be following them. Of course you can trim your list down to maybe as short as 30 or 60 days if you desire.<\/p>\n

This is a simple little way to remove the dead weight. You might be surprised how many people you are following that have not posted in a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
