Blazing Minds

There comes a time when those that actually never take the time to change the default image on Twitter have to go, the majority of the time these tweeters are spammers and from time to time you may want to unfollow them on Twitter if you have followed them using something like SocialOomph, but how can you do it?

Well this is how…..

I use a website called Refollow, now don’t be fooled by the name it has so many following and unfollowing options that you may not need anything else;)

Once you have logged in to Refollow by using Twitter OAuth you will have a selection of options you can make, by ticking the boxes you require, such as “Not Following”, “Never Followed”, “Not Following Me” etc.

For the purpose of this post, I’m going to show you how to unfollow on Twitter those that have no picture, meaning they still have the default Twitter logo.

So tick – “I’m Following” and “Without Picture” now the screen will display a section of Twitter with default images, if not go into the “Show Me” section and click both the mores, then Update View.

You can then select them to unfollow on Twitter, now remember to be cautious when unfollowing as you don’t want to get banned from Twitter, I usually find that unfollowing a page, 100 Twitters, in a 24 hours period is probably your best bet.

Tweaking the different boxes will give you different results, you could also unfollow those that haven’t tweeted in several days, or those that have not followed you back, it’s entirely up to you

UPDATE

Since posting this article back in April, refollow has now become a paid service, this was all due to Twitter changing their policies without informing developers, click on the image below to read the upgrade page from Refollow.
