Unfollow Dead Twitter Accounts

Untweeps
Let's face it. There are serious people into social networking, and there are those who just join because they were told to or because it's a fad. It's really sad for those who join for the latter reason. But it's a reality and you may have followed some people who simply gave up with the whole twitter thing and it just clutters your following list on your account. 

In comes untweeps.com. This site presents you a list of people you follow who have abandoned their twitter accounts and gives you the option to unfollow them. You have the choice to fill in how may days YOU consider a twitter account may be considered abandoned or dead. It's really up to you. You can also keep a list of people you still want to follow. Everything's up to you. You decide who to unfollow. All the site does is help you sort it out. 

Why would you want to do this? Well, some people might say they'd just keep them in the list for the sake of it or possibly because they're just too lazy to go through them one by one. The benefit however of cleaning your twitter following list is that people who follow so many "may" be considered spammers and we don't want that. It's a long shot to be considered one but some articles written about Twitter hint at how people with so many people followed are sometimes considered spammers.

So there. Just another thing to help you sort out your twitter account :)

Enjoy!
