Analyze and Manage Your Twitter Followers with Tweepi


Are you on Twitter? Technically, Twitter is a micro-blogging platform to communicate and engage with others people on the platform. Generally, we use Twitter to tweet 'cause tweets can't tweet on elsewhere though some social networks starting to follow Twitter techniques on their platforms too ;) I'm just kidding.

If you are on Twitter, you are familiar with the terms tweets, followers, following, direct messages and so on. I have no doubt that you are accepting the challenge of shortening your messages into 140 characters and enjoy sharing 'em with other tweeps on Twitter. But are you familiar with managing your Twitter account?


Manage Your Twitter Account...


I hope you heard me well. On Twitter, you can manage your Twitter account via settings easily. Don't say you don't know about it. Haven't you changed your Twitter background image and colors yet? However it's quite easy to follow and make necessary changes. Here my consideration would be not about general settings, but your followers. You just need to click Follow or Unfollow button to manage followers, no?

If you remember, we did talk about a tool helps you find the percentage of fake followers you have. But it wasn't help you in spotting them anyway. There my friend Harleena Singh was talking in comment section about a tool she used to use in managing her Twitter followers which got my attention too. See how knowledge is being shared? I'm so grateful to Harleena on sharing it with me. So, I was playing with it for few weeks with some similar tools and found Tweepi is a very interesting to manage Twitter accounts.


... with Tweepi

It has the capability of pulling data of your Twitter account to display who don't follow you back and also you can find the ones you are not following back on Twitter. Further, you can manage your existing followers and get rid of the ones you don't think you should be following anymore.

On the aspect of analyzing, you are familiar with analyzing Twitter accounts as earlier, Lisa Buben guest posted here about analyzing individual Twitter accounts. Here you can analyze multiple Twitter accounts before you follow or unfollow tweeps too.

Flush - This tool will list Twitter users who aren't following you back though you follow them. You can select users and unfollow easily here if you don't find useful in following them on Twitter. Just don't unfollow them for not being following you back if you find their tweets interesting to you. It's obvious. Isn't it?

Reciprocate - This is my favorite. You can find Twitter users who are following you, but yet you aren't following back. You could have missed them to check out and follow earlier. If you missed, you can find them all here and follow as you find how interesting they are and to build more worthy connections.

Cleanup - This tool basically list all Twitter users you are following. You can unfollow users if you found their updates are not interesting to you anymore, buggy or they are mostly idle and not engaging with your conversations on Twitter. But just don't unfollow a user being idle if it's not too long as they could be having different circumstances and he/she may start to tweet out once they back online.

Follow followers - This tool helps you find followers of a specific Twitter account with similar interests. You just need to enter a Twitter handle you familiar with such as @Mayura4Ever and proceed. Then you will able to see all the followers of that Twitter account you entered and can start following users with similar interests. It's very useful way to find users with similar interests.

Follow friends - This is similar to "Follow followers" tool we discussed above. Here you can get to know friends of a specific Twitter user. I mean, if you know of a interesting Twitter user, you can find who he/she is following. It's a great way to find friends on Twitter via a known Twitter friend, if you starting out with Twitter as a newbie. In addition, you can find very useful tweeps and resources to follow too.

Follow list - Creating lists on Twitter is very useful to find updates of specific subjects or topics. This tool helps you go through lists of Twitter users and follow interesting Twitter users in such lists. Here you need to enter Twitter handle of a specific account and it will populate all the lists that Twitter account has. Then, as usually, you can explore the list and follow users you find useful.

Paste & analyze - This tool is wonderful. You can analyze multiple Twitter accounts you wish to follow or already following, and see their information. Just enter Twitter handles separated by commas (i.e: @WootWoot, @Sparrow, @WhizKid, @ItsMyBirthday, @ImReadingThis) and proceed to see information of the Twitter users you have entered.
