I’m not sure “unfollowing” is a real world – or “unfollow” for that matter. Scrabble anyone?

Anyway, I’ve noticed one of the major PITA tasks you have to do in Twitter is to constantly go through the list of people that you’re following and unfollow those that are no longer following you. That happens for various reasons, and I’ve found the two most common to be:

They were unsuccessful in selling you whatever they were hawking on Twitter.

You simply had nothing in common with them, and they figured it out and took action before you.

As the list of people I follow grew, I really needed to find something to help me automate this process. As a result, I found SocialToo. You can register for free on socialtoo.com and setup unfollowing preferences for your Twitter account.

Another great feature are the email alerts you can receive each day.  These detail all your new followers and everyone who unfollowed you and come in very handy as another way from preventing you from having to wade through your followers list every day.
