As your list of Twitter followers grows it can definitely be a challenge to figure out who’s following you and who you’re following. But don’t despair because there are a lot…and I mean LOTS of tools out there to help you keep on top of the list and manage your followers and following lists. I’ve done some digging and want to share some tools that I found simple to use with some surprisingly powerful applications.
Refollow is a big hit for me! Just log in with your Twitter account and you’ll see your followers in an easy-to-navigate screen. You can also see all the people you’re following and find out who’s mentioned you. The easy layout and navigation makes it a must have for the die-hard Tweeter, especially busy business people who want to strategically manage their Twitter account and connections.
Friend or follow is another follow friend finder and also very visual. Go to their website and input yourname. It throws you into your Twitter account and the photos arrive shortly after you do. You can sort by username, name, location, following, followers…..the list goes on. You can even export everyone to a CSV file (version of Microsoft Excel) complete with profile details.
It’s simple but it does the trick. MyCleenr helps you remove inactive accounts based on their tweet numbers. You can also sort your friends by their last tweets. You can only use this service if you have less than 700 friends on Twitter they are having issues with their scalability if your following many more than their limit.
twitTangle “helps you untangle the mess of having too many friends on Twitter.” You can also use this app tag and rate friends. You can even filter your timeline to find tweets that are important to you. A new feature lets you create custom groups of followers and filter your timeline by that group.
I hope you find these tools valuable. Please try them out and share your feedback. I look forward to your comments.
