I already use ManageFlitter to help me clean up my account. I also use unfollowers.me for a daily clean out of recent in followers just to keep me within the ratio of people I am following and followers. Highly recommend ManageFlitter though!Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667437265585043993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-16494062777362130262014-01-07T11:03:09.534-05:002014-01-07T11:03:09.534-05:00Wow Edie, thanks for the heads up on how to manage...Wow Edie, thanks for the heads up on how to manage Twitter.

It tells you the date of the last tweet and how often they tweet and lots of other important stuff. But it only looks at the people who are not following you. If you have an inactive account following you, don't worry about it. Leave well enough alone.Thanks for stopping by, Blessings, EEdie Melsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902312441667526147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-73896826206019470132014-01-06T12:05:45.149-05:002014-01-06T12:05:45.149-05:00I had no idea about the 2000 cieling.

Or do you think it's better to have them add to your "follower" numbers?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473774179937702258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-74071750149996066872014-01-06T11:54:47.368-05:002014-01-06T11:54:47.368-05:00Edie, I hit the dreaded 2000 mark last summer.

I had always followed back because I thought it was polite, which is why my ratios got out of balance. After I learned my lesson I unfollowed 423 people at one sitting. My "loyalty" gene was in pain! One of my followers had advised me to do that and then to wait patiently. It was a painful couple of months because my numbers fluctuated everyday with people unfollowing me. Then it started to balance out with gain 5 followers, lose 6 followers in a day. Drove me CRAZY! But, I held on and now I'm on a steady increase again. I've learned to be very selective and strategic in those I follow, especially as I work to close the ratio gap. There's still a difference of about 250 followers. I'm scared to hit the 2000 mark again - lol! Thanks for this post. I going to check out ManageFlitter after I get Morning Glory written. Bless you!
