Find and Unfollow inactive Twitter friends in your list using MyCleenr
As you use twitter the friend list keeps on increasing and you follow people whom you find interesting but the does of tweets is so huge we hardly know if somebody has actually stopped tweeting ot become inactive.
In my opinion the more active your twitter friends the more interaction you have and it makes it more produtive. But how to do you find such inactive twitter user ? Twitter doesn’t provide but the community which has grown around twitter always surprises to even give you a solution for this.
Introducing MyCleenr, A perfect online service which uses the Twitter api to find the most inactive twitter friends you had been following and shows the last tweet time of them.
The list was so surprising and I was really shocked. So many peiple i had been following which had been inactive from very long time. Makes sense in twitter terms, why follow people who dont use ut anymore and have no communication with you. I had cleaned up people who had been inactive for more then 3 or so.
But on other had I asked some people if they would use it. There was a different view for many of them. For some it did not matter, some liked it and some said who knows they might come back. So the question is over to you now. Would you unfollow people like this ot just keep them. ? Check out MyCleenr ( Via Liewcf )and share your views with us.

I follow everyone that follows me. It doesn’t matter to me if people are inactive. They may always pick up their account later after several months of not using it. At the same time, other people may want to scrub out the inactive people to better understand the quality of the following. Thanks for providing this resource, although whether or not to use it comes down to personal preference.
@Brian : Very true. Its more about personal opinion as you said. In fact looking at quality is also another factor. Like if something is not useful for me does not mean its not useful for anybody else.
I found this post via google. I was trying to find a new program to unfollow ppl because untweeps is now charging. I’m not normally a cheap person, but when something was once free, I hate hwen they start charging.
Now, I tried to use My Cleanr, but they only allow you to use their service if you have less than 700 followers… not helpful for me either. So my search continues….
