How to Unfollow who Don’t follow

Twitter is a revolutionary social networking website that offers the facility of ‘following’ people who share your interests. Whenever you search a term, you get to read comments or “tweets” by different users regarding that term. If you find an interesting tweet you then click on that person’s profile and decide to follow that person. What ‘following’ means is that you receive the person’s updates on the first page after sign in. The person who you follow gets notified of your following and can follow you back.

One of the advantages of the ‘following’ someone on Twitter is that there is a good likelihood that that person follows you back. This is very beneficial for promotion of one’s blog or a website, or for any other kind of promotion for that matter. It is for this reason that many people on Twitter start following others anticipating a follow back. There are cases, however, where you don’t receive a follow back. Over time, the list of non followers increase and it gets difficult to keep a track of such non followers. So when it comes to un-following the people that don’t follow you back, manual selection and deletion becomes a tough job; especially if the list of such non followers is long a long one.

The world wide web though, has many solutions to this problem. Many good coders have made neat little apps that do the work of deleting the non followers for you like this and this. All you need to do is to open their websites enter your Twitter username and the websites do the rest. Many websites have more add on features such as searching for people that are likely to follow you if you follow them (based on statistics), among others. With a press of a button you can follow these people without having to follow each of them individually, and if they don’t follow back in some time you can always un-follow them again with the press of a button from that very website (although you can use other websites also).
