Remove Followers on Twitter That Don't Follow Back

 

Do you like to follow people on Twitter? I do! I love to see what others are up to with their cyber snippets, but there are a lot of people that don't follow you back, so after a while when your "Following" heavily outweighs your "Followers" you can start to look like a bit of a cyber stalker. What can be done?
 
I found this neat little script over on userscripts.org which allows you to remove people from your friends list who don't follow you back.
 
Here's what the author says:

This script highlights the "remove" buttons for "friends" who don't follow you  back on your Twitter Friends pages. A new action button is added at the bottom  of the page. When you click this button, all marked friends will be removed.
The scrip marks only users who:

  • don't follow you (who don't return the love)
  • have their updates unprotected (you can always remove locked users manually if you want).

By default, no action is taken, so you have the chance to inspect which users will  be removed before clicking the Remove Marked (12) button.
 

To run the script you need to install Greasemonkey for Firefox, then install the script by clicking here. Once Greasemonkey takes to the script head over to http://tiwtter.com/friends and view your "Following" list, you will see Greasemonkey at the bottom right of Firefox, it looks like a little smiling monkey, right click on the monkey and choose "Twitter Remove Non-Followers". You won't able to see this unless you are viewing your friends list.
 
Now all people in your "Following" list who are not following you back will have the remove button highlighted green, simply click the remove button to stop following them, and when you are done hit the Remove Marked button at the bottom. No action is taking until you hit this button.
 
This is a very handy little script, great for tidying up your Twitter workspace!

Remove Twitter Non-Followers script

I browse with Firefox on a Mac.  I did this: "installed the Greasemonkey and the little icon shows at the bottom right of my page."  I am at http://twitter.com/friends.  And got the same result: "When I right click on it the only options are: New User Script, Manage User Scripts and Enabled with a check beside it.  What am I doint wrong?"
I have the same question!
 

Awesome

Great script I cleaned out my following for both of site accounts www.gameconsoleaccessories.org and http://trainmetoblog.info

great tool!

Hi there, thanks for this great script. We have used it to clean up our business' page for Real Insurance at http://www.twitter.com.realinsurance
 
What a good idea!

Fixed my problem, and probably yours....

So I couldn't get this to work right away, but I figured it out pretty quickly.
First, try going to http://www.Twitter.com/following instead of /friends.
Otherwise, right-click on the monkey head and go to manage scripts and add the domain http://twitter.com/friends.
Hope that helps.

Hello, I had around 800 guys not following back to remove and since "auto" tools tend to be blind this script is simply amazing! Thanks a lot

No green buttons!

Hello
I've followed the instructions but there are no green buttons for people who are not following back. Tested it with Matt Damons twitter. I do see a little message next to the Greasemonkey icon saying twiter.com with a locked padlock.  Has twitter stopped this script working?

Script works like a charm.

Hey this is sweet.  Been wondering when someone would come up with a script like this.
Nicely done!

script

I installed the Greasemonkey and the little icon shows at the bottom right of my page.  When I right click on it the only options are: New User Script, Manage User Scripts and Enabled with a check beside it.  What am I doint wrong?

Hi,   Are you on the page

Hi,
 
Are you on the page http://tiwtter.com/friends when right clicking? If you are not viewing this exact URL the script won't kick in to action and you won't be able to see it.
 
Let me know if you need more help!
 
Thanks

Hi Alan, and Elf Guest.   I

Hi Alan, and Elf Guest.
 
I just checked my script and it is still working ok, I was thinking Twitter might have made some changes to their code that might stop it working.
 
Are you in http://twitter.com/friends ? It won't work if you look at your followers list.
 
I'll have a bigger look into it and see what I can dig up!
 
Sorry about the delay getting back, I took a holiday for myself this weekend!

Remove Followers that don't follow back

I used to have this running, but for some reason, when I restarted my computer, I could not see the remove marked button on the bottom of my screen again.  I discarded the old script, reloaded both Greasemonkey and the script again, restarted Firefox several times, right clicked the monkey on the bottom of Firefox and checked "Twitter - Remove Non-Followers" but nothing appears on the bottom of my page as before.  No Remove Marked button at all.
Any suggestions?
 
Alan

I really, really, wanted this

I really, really, wanted this script.
I've downloaded the Greasemonkey thingy.
I've restarted my firefox 3 browser.
I downloaded the script.
I got an error alert that the WSYSIG toolbar wasn't there? Not a darn thing happens when I go to Twitter.com/friends except that I see a list of people I follow. There's no "remove button highlighted green". 
Grrr! Annoying. Very annoying since I do not know how to fix this. What toolbar is missing? Whatcha talking about, Elfie?
 

Great tool!

Through friendorfollow I found out there were over 400 users who did not follow me back and I thought I had to delete them manually, but thanks to this script I don't. I also will never use an auto-follow service ever again...

Good Day. Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
