We all know that Twitter is the latest love of social media users (and celebs and nans and big uncle Joe). Some people will 'get it' and others won't, same as any other internet 'fad' (not that I think it's a fad).
Those that 'get it' like you and me will happily tweet our little hearts out 5, 10 or 20 times a day. Easy. No problem! The 'don't getter's' won't last more than a few weeks at best.
That's fine! Each to their own. However, the problem that you have as an avid Tweeter is that these drop-outs are clogging up your valuable 'following list'.
That's bad for a couple of reasons.
1. There's no point in following an un-interesting, un-responsive person. It defeats the point of Twitter.
2. For those that are interested in growing their followers list for commercial reasons having dud users clogging up your account can limit your growth potential. After all, your promoting your product to no-one, then there's Twitters internal limits to worry about.
Fear not readers! There is a solution.
I've came across a site that hunts down these time-wasters and un-follows them for you all in one click. Best of all it's free.
Check out UnTweeps.com
Hope this helps
