We often talk about how many fans and followers we have. But, how often do we talk about the people that we’re following? When was the last time you went through the list of people you follow on your social media sites? When was the last time you unfollowed someone?

Jenn:

I am stuck in the Twitter follow limit as you describe as follows:

"It’s also worth noting that once you are following 2000 people on Twitter, you hit the magic wall. At this point you have to have a certain ratio of followers to following. Basically, you can’t follow 2000 people and only have 100 following you. My understanding is that once you hit the magic number, you can have no more than 10 percent more following than followers – so if you have 2000 followers, you are allowed to follow 2200 people. With Twitter implementing these restrictions, it’s very important that you aren’t following too many people and jeopardizing your ability to make new connections."

I am following 4372 tweeps at the moment, but I only have 3968 followers. Do you know about any good tool for cleaning up in an effective and efficient way?

I want to follow you, but I can't at the moment! :(

I can't really remember the last time I unfollowed someone nd I think its something I need to be doing always because when it comes to Twitter, there are many inactive people I'm following and I normally prefers quality over quantity. Thanks for sharing this with the community.

Thanks Val. Glad you got something out of my post. Yes, you should go through (at least occasionally) and clean up your Twitter contacts. So many people become inactive or unhelpful to you. Good luck!
