Mass Unfollow on Twitter

Having a ton of followers on Twitter is great, but sometimes you just want to unfollow those who don’t follow you.  This is easier said than done when you only have about 100 or so followers, but when You hit over 1000+ followers, it makes it very difficult to unfollow all of those jerks.

I’ve found a great site that mass unfollows users for you automatically.  All you have to do is enter your Twitter name and password and then select go.

You have the choice to:

• Unfollow all who do not follow you back
• Unfollow all
• Follow all who follow you

This is a great free service for Twitter accounts of no more than 1800 followers.  The site is called Huitter and their tool is called Mutuality.

Check it out and mass unfollow those jerks today!

How to increase the number of social followers

Many people ask me, Tony, how the heck to I increase my number of followers and fans on Twitter or Facebook?  I tell them it is simple, start passing out a few bucks here and there and soon you will be on your path to enlightenment.

Seriously, you don’t need to spend any money to get more followers or fans on Twitter of Facebook.  What you can do is try to remember that your social media outlets are there to have others recommend you to others and that is really how you increase your base. 

There are a few things you can do such as post your Twitter, Facebook and YouTube links on your company’s website and then HOPE they will follow you, OR you can take the approach Skittles did and randomly redirect their company website to their social websites.  This is a great technique that can increase the awareness of your social media initiatives.  This is a pretty slick idea that I’m willing to try out.  Don’t be annoyed if you expect to see the awesome Tony Rocks homepage, but then get redirected to my Twitter page :)

Twitter + Streetview = Stalker 2.0

I know many of you, like myself enjoy Twitter and love to tell people what we are up to. Sounds fine and dandy, but have you ever considered that maybe you shouldn’t talk too much?

With Twitter we can announce where we are, what we are doing, what are plans are and so on. This is great information that if dropped in the wrong hands could be used to bad stuff!

From a stalker standpoint, for that matter a burglar’s standpoint, there are only a few more things that one needs to know in order to take advantage of your whereabouts as being posted on Twitter.

Let’s take a look, shall we:

• If you maintain a website associate with your “brand” make sure you make your domain name contact information private…if some jerk knows that you are going to be on vacation a certain week, it is easy to find out through domain tools where your empty house is located.
• Many “work from home” Internet Marketing people actually add their home address to the website in order to appear being a personable person…consider getting an off-site mail box.
• Google street view displays of your location could prove helpful for the stalker/burglar to plan his attack.
• If your domain contact information contains your contact number, this is an opportunity to make a phone call to the number (which may be a home or cell number) to verify that the house is unoccupied.

If you are going to Twitter, make sure you play it safe.

If you enjoy divulging your personal information, then make it a point to make sure that you use some common sense.
