If you have been using twitter for a long time now, chances are you’re following a relatively large number of users (hundred or even thousands), at which stage you probably can’t keep up with their updates, regardless of which client you’re using and how you’re using it. At least that’s what happened to me.

Unfollow everyone is a move started originally by Loic Le Meur, who unfollowed everyone in his Twitter account, and slowly started adding people back. 

It immediately caught my attention, and struck a cord with me, it’s the equivalent of hitting the refresh button. It makes twitter interesting again, by starting fresh and slowly focusing on adding a selected few of users with very relevant and valuable updates.

We created a small script that would unfollow all of your friends and You can use the script from within this page:

We promise you not to store your details (username or password), but just in case you’re still paranoid, you can download the script from here, edit your account information and run it yourself.

I personally used the script and hope it helps some of you who are in my same position. Let me know if you have any feedback.
