Twitter Break-Up: Find Out Who Unfollowed You

Being unfollowed on Twitter is probably one of the most disheartening things to happen especially when you are trying to build an online network or use Twitter for business. A Twitter break-up is like receiving a Dear John letter from an anonymous source. There are many reasons why people could unfollow you, it could be a tweet or lack thereof, spam messages that you may have sent or simply a change of interest. While we can not help you deal with the loss, we have come up with resources to help you know why. Figuring out why people do not want to follow you anymore can be a valuable tool that can help you in the microblogging arena. Here are some resources that can help you without having to comb through your Followers list.

Qwitter sends you a daily email notification when people unfollow you as well as the last tweet you posted prior to being unfollowed. This should clue you in why people are not reading your tweets. The service also offers spammers and spam bot identification and Qwitter Therapy to help you cope with the sadness of being twitter-dumped. Qwitter also offers a premium service for $4.99 a year.

Twunfollow is the notification service of choice for the avid twitter. The service offers real time notifications, a web-based summary and an RSS feed. An excellent unfollow tracker that keeps a record of your follow/unfollow history.

Unfollowr@Twitter is handy for those who do not want their email to be flooded by notifications. It can be quite unnerving to received unfollow notification on your mailbox everyday, especially if you have a large following. This is a free service and fairly easy to use, simply login to your twitter account and follow Mr.Unfollowr.

Kidding aside, people can unfollow you for no particular reason and you have to remember that the public can be picky. There’s no sense in moping around or attacking those who unfollowed you, remember at the end of the day it is just a social network.

Concentrate your efforts on better things and remember the best form of revenge is success. Retweeting and blog commenting helps you get noticed, just make sure your posts are relevant to your readers. Sending DMs or direct messages also helps build a strong relationship with your followers, but avoid spamming. Exercise good netiquette and forget about twitter bashing, after all haters are just confused followers.
