I love Twitter.
It makes life a little more interesting every day that you use it. There is one problem that I have been presented with over the course of the past few days. Inactive users.
Inactive users really upset me and when I say upset.. I am meaning… more along the lines of “wrong order at a restaurant” upset. I just don’t understand the point of spending time to add multiple people and then NOT using the tool every again. But that is their prerogative. (Thank you Ms. Spears)
I had a URL come across my Twitter Feed today to Twitoria. This is the first thing I read when I clicked through:
How many friends are you really following? Twitoria finds your friends that haven’t tweeted in a long time so you can give them the boot!
FINALLY… (unless I missed another one) a tool that allows you to delete people that are inactive on Twitter, something that really cleans up the mess of inactive users. I
I started using the tool and it has extremely easy functionality… it is pretty straight forward. While I was un-following the fifth or sixth person I realized… Why does this matter?
They don’t tweet.. They don’t flood my stream with stupid magpie tweets or worthless hard-sell links.. So why does it matter if I delete them or not?
I haven’t answered that question but it you are wanting to delete the number of people you are following.. Twitoria is a great tool to do that.
Now.. can somebody please create an application that allows me to auto un-follow Twitter idiots?

It does work well, although the premise is… not all that useful.
I’m trying to find a Twitter client that’ll boot people I follow who insist on posting every intimate detail of their daily activities.
Sounds like a programmer should create a Twitter App that says “If a profile Tweets x# of updates, then unfollow”…
@Nicki good thought except for the people like me who post good stuff instead of just updates.
Maybe we could do a Twitter app that deletes anyone with the word food or bed.
food and bed are two of the necessities of life Kyle. That would be like asking people to stop eating or sleeping…then how could they Twitter?
