Unfollow everyone on Twitter
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.
Commentweet beta, Twitter conversation on Blogs
Since I have a decent number of followers on Twitter, most of the feedback I get is through Twitter, and that feedback is about almost everything including blog posts, which I usually tweet about.
If you have a decent following on Twitter, chances are your Tweet about a post of yours receives as much replies if not more than comments left on the actual post. It keeps happening to me in almost every post recently.
I don’t mind that fact, but also I would love to pull all of those tweets and relevant conversation and make it part of the post in question, so that everyone who’s contributing through different channels would know about each other.
With that idea in mind, we decided to create Commentweet for our use, which helps us (and might help you) pull all replies to a tweeted post in a nice and easy way, which works like this:
You tweet about the latest post on the blog, and all reply tweets to that particular tweet gets pulled in automatically to “Commentweet” section, which you can place anywhere.
Here’s how to install it in WordPress:
- Download the WordPress plugin here.
- Unpack it.
- Upload it and place it in the “Plugins” folder.
- Activate the plugin.
- Place this code “commentweet_widget();” in your post template in any way you wish.
- To add a Commentweet counter for posts on the homepage, you can add this code “commentweet_widget_nu_o();” to the Main Index template.
You’re welcome to give it a try and provide Feedback either in the comments or on Twitter
