For the last few weeks I have been using a great application called ‘ManageTwitter’ to do exactly that for my multiple accounts. Described by TechCrunch as a “must-use” it is one of the most practical twitter apps available.
ManageTwitter
allows you to manage your Twitter followers in a variety of ways. It informs you os all the Twitter users you follow that aren’t following you back, those that have been inactive for over a month and those that are very talkative or very quiet. You can then unfollow these groups of users individually or in bulk and that is the issue – twitter does not approve of bulk unfollow and as of last Friday a message appeared on the ManageTwitter home page indicating that it was to close in a week because it was breaking the microblogging site’s terms of service. Today a different message appeared:
This is a genuinely useful site that doesn’t encourage or facilitate spamming. It just might get a reprieve but doubtless with modifications to its current functionality.

I have not come across this site before, so thank you for sharing.
Bulk ‘unfollows’ are good for unfollowing inactive users, but people must be careful when deciding to unfollow those that do not follow back – as you may be deleting some very interesting people from your stream, for quite a puerile reason.
