I don’t have a large list of Twitter followers and couldn’t care less. I don’t use social media tools to shout at people. I’m there to share things, mine and others, that I think are interesting, meet interesting people, and stay plugged in to various “communities.” So, I’ve never wasted time following people in the hopes thatthey too are desperate to have a large list of followers and that they will follow me back, or risk getting unfollowed. I also never use anything like auto-following people back or automated direct messages. That’s not real.
All that said, often I have wanted a tool that would let me quickly manage followers in bulk. I don’t have Twitter send notifications to my email when someone follows because I have enough to deal with in my inbox already. And Tweetdeck can tell me I have new followers and whether I’m following them back or not, assuming they’re interesting to me. But Refollow does just one thing, it manages your lists of followers and following-ers (couldn’t resist making up a word) and it does it really well. You can filter and sort by a bunch of dimensions and that really saves time.
Thanks to Scott Stratten at UnMarketing for turning me on to Refollow.
