FollowerWonk has both a free and pro version.  I went through the tabs to see what I could do as a free user

Searching Twitter bios was helpful.  It allowed me to sort the results by influence, days on Twitter, tweets, following and followers.  I found a few new ones to consider.  In app following is for the pro version only. I was also able to easily see who I was already following or was following me with some simple directional arrows.

Compare users allowed you to enter up to three Twitter names and compare who they follow or who follows them. I picked myself and two others in my field and found we only overlap who we follow by 46 people. Yet they overlap by 122. So I am missing some that maybe I should investigate. The reverse was true and I could see people that only followed the other two and not myself.  Which allows me to reach out to them. I was unable to sort those results by influence to reach specific people first since that is a pro only feature.

I then jumped over to analyze followers (enter any username but you always want your own first right). A cool map overlay showing where my followers say they are based was first.  Almost like a heat map. AA pie chart showing the influence of your followers was quite helpful. The gender pie chart not so much but the breakdown of those following my by range of their followers was great.  Account ages of my followers was interesting. Most active users and even the best times of day that my followers are active was awesome.

Tracking and sorting were not possible except to see the sample data they provided for their own account.

So to summarize, the free plan includes:

• search bios
• compare users
• analyze followers/follows
• overlay your social graph

Pro will include all of the above and even add in:

• In-app follow/following
• Track your social graph
• sort your graph, download results into an Excel
• switch between multiple accounts

 I think this was a helpful site and comparable to the other tools we have listed in Follower Management and Graphing Tools sections.  FollowerWonk is worth checking out for even the free version.

TwitQuit is a tool that allows you to take greater control over how you manage your followings and followers on Twitter.

Twitquit offers a handful of features for users. If you’re looking for a tool to keep track of who follows and unfollows you, TwitQuit can send emails at various intervals with this information. In addition, you can use TwitQuit to automatically unfollow or automatically follow people on Twitter. If you prefer to manage that process manually, you can bulk follow and unfollow selected users with Twitquit.

A clean and quick tool for follower management, TwitQuit is free and perfect for small business and personal Twitter accounts.

SCAM: It tweeted bad numbers, links and hastags under the test account.  Stay away

This one was sent in and I was suspicious from the start called Followers Secret Monitor (1.01 beta).  It appears for good reason.  Using a test account I logged into the application with oAuth an gave it rights.  I was expecting to see a list of who unfollowed me in some report fashion.  Maybe by date or after what tweet.

Unfortunately what was shows was a screen with a very bad pull of the profile picture and a number of people that supposedly unfollowed the account.  No times, no names, nothing.  Except a button to find lists that will follow you back to grow your followers.

We have reviewed a tool like this before, but it read your current followers and then compared it to then show who stopped.  I was unsure how this one could build the list without a start point anyway.

The site that runs this is TopTwitterShare which puts fun tweets on their homepage.  So use this at your own risk to no result we have seen yet.

• Where do they live?
• Are they married or single?
• What jobs do they do?
• Which hobbies & interests?
• Who else do they follow?
• Their location geographically

As usual, we ran a quick test to let you know how it works.  A quick oAuth approval and all I received was a python script error the first time.  It took off the second time.  In order to see your summary analysis you have to actually tweet the result.  Mine appeared as the following:

My followers like Technology (27.9%), News (16.0%) and Politics (11.9%). #KnowYourFollowers at: http://goo.gl/pjg4A

I was a bit upset I could not uncheck the button to follow their service, even if I was allowing the tweet to go.  I instead viewed the sameple report they did for Starbucks.

As you can see they give some good content that is generated from your followers.  The full analysis breaks all this down even further. (See example here).  They have a huge page on how they crunch and data mine the information.  Keep in mind it is acting as you to run this so you may see and be able to report on people that protect their streams.

Fllwrs provides you with a record of who follows and unfollows you each day on Twitter.  Have you ever wondered why your count goes up and down, even with the emails you get from Twitter (or the awesome Topify) showing who follows you?

Logging into the simple page takes you to oAuth page where I ended up highly disappointed:

We apologize, but it appears you have too many followers to use this service at this time.
Please come back again in the future when we expand the service to highly followed users.

So I logged in via one of the EverythingTwitter smaller test accounts only spammers seem to have found.  You then receive three checkboxes of settings:

• follow @_fllwrs to get updates in your Twitter account (as expected)
• post a tweet telling your friends about @_fllwrs (as expected)
• automatically check followers daily and post a tweet with unfollowers (more on this one next)

Now I would like the service to check and maybe let me know time of day and after what tweet they left.  It helps give an indication as to what content might drive people away from your stream.  I do not want a broadcast list of shame going out to my other followers.

I did see a tiny link in the upper right for settings.  Clicking that simply rechecked all of the boxes instead of providing more choices.  I logged out.

I visited their Twitter page ( note the underscore for _fllwrs since the other was taken.).  They have over 34k followers showing people probably used the service and left the box checked.

While I think having a service showing times of unfollowing, having it tweet them out would not be a good choice.

You can add multiple Twitter accounts to their system, using oAuth for each.  The catch is that there is different levels of capabilities depending on what service you choose.  You come in as basic level, with some limits in capabilities.

I was totally unsware of this when I first entered the system.  Costs are free/$15 month/$21 month to pro (no price listed).  You can add more Twitter acocunts with each level as well as filters, pruning and more.

There is no way to delete your account either, which I found interesting.  FOr some reason I decided not to move on due to these facts.

FollowFormation is technically not new,  but it is still a useful tool.  Their description makes it easier than retyping:

Followformation is a tool for novice users (we call them “chirpers”) to get started with following the top people in the categories of their interest, and top people in the cities in which they live in. You can call it Twitter’s suggested users feature on steroids

After approving the oAuth, it scans your tweets and followers and begins showing who has been quiet, inactive, missing profile images and more.  You can search bios, tweets and more.  Select everyone to unfollow them immediately and deselect verified accounts and popular liked.

You are able to see the number of people that unfollowed you with the tool as well as download a csv file of everyone you follow.

In all a great tool but the UI is unclear in how to best work it.  There was a link for a dashboard, where I had high expectations.  I think with some UI changes this can be an effective tool.  As well as a link to information from the splash page would be welcomed.

Muuter is a great tool to put a silencer on someone that is tweeting away at a conference you do not care about, or maybe some sports event.  They make a good point of explaining if you unfollow someone, odds are you would forget to follow them back.  Using this service gives you the needed break. They do the entire unfollow/follow action automated.

You are able to send a Direct Message to the service specifying who to silence and for how long.  They utilize oAuth to engage the service and their actions do count towards your API usage.  So beware of that.  They do log every request they perform for you to review and act upon if necessary.

For a full FAQ see it here.

• who is following you back
• what accounts are dormant or quiet
• what accounts are talkative

It will automatically suggest a number of people you can unfollow (mine came in at 63) with some great options.  The first one I noticed is the choice to select allor unselect all.  But the ability to unselect only verified accounts, was a big bonus.  Then a following option allowed you to unselect popular accounts.

This means that the verified or popular are more than likely huge accounts that do not follow many back (read this as stars and geek gods/goddesses).

I went through the choices to first see the accounts that have not tweeted in 30 days, with some surprising results.  Hovering over any name shows total tweets, numbers of followed and followers and how long ago the account was created.

This has been the easiest and quickest follower management tool to adjust who you follow.  Heck it even told me the number of people that unfollowed me with the tool,  Thank goodness it was only 1 (yet I tweet often and am active.  I hope they didn’t do what I almost did and forget to uncheck someone)
