Twitter tool: Unfollow your non-followers
If you’re looking for a tool that allows you to bulk unfollow the people on Twitter who you are following but who aren’t following you back, Mutuality from Huitter.com will help.
The tool allows you a few options – Unfollow all who do not follow you back, Unfollow all, and Follow all who follow you. You can also add in up to 50 users who won’t be affected by the action, so if you have a particular celebrity that you like to track or thought-leader who doesn’t subaction showcomments propecia optional blog follow you but you want to keep tracking, you can exclude them from the action.
This service is free for accounts with up to 1800 followers or friends. For larger accounts, this can be used up to three times for free.
This isn’t a recommendation to use this tool – I don’t think that either bulk following or bulk unfollowing is a great Twitter strategy. But I have heard from many people who are looking for a tool to accomplish this exact functionality, and have seen Huitter’s tool work effectively.

Hmm… I’d much rather thave a tool that *lists* the people who aren’t following me back, without taking any action. For instance, you’re not following me (@swombat – hint hint!), but I’m interested in your occasional tweets, so I wouldn’t want to unfollow you. On the other hand, if I had some random person who, as far as I know, has done nothing of interest, but I followed back out of courtesy, but who since unfollowed me – then I would want to unfollow that person.
At the moment I deal with that by trawling my “following” list ever month or two and removing people who aren’t following me back and who I don’t remember.
I completely agree – I would much prefer a tool that had that functionality myself. Anyone out there want to build that tool (or have one that does it already)? To recap – I’m looking for a tool that lists the people who aren’t following me back on Twitter. Without taking any action for or against those folks. Post a comment or send me an email!
I use this site to figure out who’s not following me: http://friendorfollow.com
Would that fit the bill for you both?
I have this app in beta: http://www.theunfollowapp.com/
it gives you data about the ones you follow and recommends you who to unfollow
