I blogged some time back spelling out my Twitter rules that
I still try to stick to, although I do take things on a one-on-one basis. A
service I use is Who Unfollowed Me where I can get regular feedback on
followers I lose. Rule #5: Unfollow me and I'll unfollow back. Guaranteed. Here are a few types I unfollow.
MR. IMPORTANT. This
guy (or gal) has a high count of followers and following. Then he unfollows. A
quick check shows he has dumped most of the people he was following. I guess this
makes him look important. I have news for him. No blue check mark means he’s
just a regular Joe (or Jane) like me. Click Unfollow.
GO FIGURE. This one
follows. You follow back. A few days later he unfollows. His following-follower
ratio is still about the same. Why? Don’t know. Click
Unfollow.
SUSPENDED ACCOUNT.
Many times the account has a pretty woman’s picture. The bio says weird,
sometimes is lacking, or creates an uneasy feeling. Don’t have to Click Unfollow on this one. Twitter police did it
for you.
GET YOU FOLLOWERS.
The pitch says you’ll have 10,000 followers in 24 hours. This is great if you
are a collector. My brain screams scam. I stay away from these and recommend Click Unfollow.
THE COLLECTOR.
When following-follower count exceeds the size of small city, this Twitter
tycoon must be in it for the numbers. I usually follow back, but typically I
don’t actively pursue him I figure they wouldn’t be able to tell if I followed
or not.
THE SNUBBER. These
denizens of Twitter never follow back. They look like they would but somehow don’t. Probably
not keeping up with Twitter. Click
Unfollow.
Who do you unfollow?
