When Your Twitter Stream Gets Crowded With Tweets You Don’t Read {Tweet Me Tuesday}

July 20, 2010

I recently discovered a new twitter tool thanks to @MommyPerks and have fallen in love with yet another thing to help me keep my twitter stream down to what I’d like it to be.  I do love chatting with people and for some time there tried to follow mostly every (real) person back it just got to be too much!  I found myself scanning through the pictures of 100 people I didn’t really interact with at all to find the 1 or 2 people I did speak with!

She tweeted out something about a tool called ManageFlitter and you know I had to check it out!  ManageFlitter allows you to unfollow bunches of people at once.  I “unfollowed” almost 200 people that day.

Connect To Twitter

First allow it to connect to twitter

Working

It will work it's magic-relatively quickly too!

Types of filters

You can click any of the filters you see on the left. These also act as symbols when you are looking through a very long list of people!!

Select & Unfollow

Select whomever you wish and unfollow them. Be sure to click "unfollow" before moving to next filter or you lose your selections!

It’s a really easy and pleasant tool to work with. It does the “unfollowing” for you!  Also-something I didn’t notice right off for one reason or another-there will be pages of people to look through (if you’re following lots of people).  Be sure to look through those-I thought it was just the one scroll through at first!

That’s a great tool. I’ve used something similar but I’m going to look and see if this is easier to work with!

Wow, thanks for letting us know about this. (Found you through C.Bias) I recently signed up for the #31DBBB on twitter so I’ll wait until after that is over before I start unfollowing to give everyone a chance. Right now though I have a big enough following that I can’t seem to chat with anyone.
