Managing your followers is one way to make sure your tweet stream is always relevant. One technique using ReFollow is about removing people, the other about adding. The two most important ingredients for great people to follow are: 1. Current 2. Engaging Current meaning they are still active on Twitter. With a high drop-out rate, people tend to leave Twitter and never come back. A useful way to find out who has left is to login to ReFollow and click on the top “I’m Following” and then on the top-right “No tweets in X days”. I usually choose 30 or 90 days, since not everyone is a daily tweetaholic like me. At this point you don’t have to choose “Select All” and “UnFollow”. At the very least it allows you to look over the list and realize some people that you really like or know personally haven’t been on in a while, and maybe drop them a line. The best thing about ReFollow though is finding people that are engaging with you that you may not be following. Choose “I’m not following” from the choices at the top (make sure this is the only one checked off) and then on the right hand side in the middle of the page, check the option “Users who have @mentioned me”. This will show you all the people on Twitter that have mentioned/replied/retweeted you that you are not following. I love doing this search because it shows me who is making an effort to reach out. It shows who supports me, and that makes me happy and I want to see who they are so I can possibly support them. This is a great option especially if you’ve fallen behind or don’t get notifications at all about new followers (like me). © 2008 TwiTip Twitter Tips .
