Recently I tried out friendorfollow a service that shows which of your followers are not following you back. Its a really simple well executed idea. However it’s lacks the ability to mass unfollow its results.

So after a bit of searching i discovered TwitterKarma, a simple web app to do just this task. Just enter your username and password (if your worried about giving the site these details you can always change your password before and after), choose only following from the drop down then go to the bottom of the page, click check all and hit the bulk unfollow button, then say goodbye to all those unwanted tweets!

Over the weekend I discovered #suckupsaturday on Twitter, aparently its a chance to “suck up” to the tweeps you forgot to tweet about on #followfriday.

In the last week (pretty much since this hoax),  blogs have been awash with speculation about Twitters long awaited business plan.

The most commonly promoted idea is a paid for premium account that would offer some form of expanded functionality;  like unlimited API credits or more characters per message. While I have no doubt that online marketers would snap up these features only a tiny percentage of normal users would be interested.


Whatever Twitters business plan is I think its unlikely to be based on added functionality, doing so could create two classes of user and risk alienating the very users responsible for its massive growth.

Twitter must think big if it is to avoid the problems that Facebook and Myspace have had monetizing their audiences. If I had to bet on it I would put my money on some form of contextual advertising based on your message history.
