Organizing your Twitter community

With Twitter being the vastly populated community that it is, it could be very 

easy to lose track of your tweets and followers; especially if you have a 

great deal of followers. You need a way to organize and manage your 

accounts and tweeps there are several third party applications that work 

better than managing your community through just the site alone.

 Twittergrader is a third party application that assigns the users a grade 

based on their activity in the community, this can help with investigating 

your followers to determine whether or not they are worthy of you 

continuing to follow them. If someone you are following is not very active in 

the community why follow them.

 Twinfluence is an application that using a particular mathematical system to 

quantify the influence of Twitter users by their activity in the community.

 Tweetcloud is a system that creates a tag cloud of a person’s tweets upon 

seeing the tag cloud you can decide if the subject matter that they tweet 

about is what you are interested in.

Also it is really important on Twitter to know who your friends are. If 

someone is a follower but not active on the site or if you follow them and 

they are inactive, why waste time on an inactive connection. You need to 

organize your followers and there are several applications that can aid with 

the organization process.

 Twitter karma is an application that allows you to view all of your follows 

and which of them is following you back. Friend or follow is another application that works similar to Twitter Karma.

The only difference is how the follows are organized this works better for

people with a large following.

 Qwitter is an application that notifies you when a person stops following

you by sending you an email. This application will also let you know what

tweet stopped that person from following you.

Another way to manage your Twitter community is to clean up the inactive

users that you follow. There are some applications available that will help to

easily accomplish this clean up.

 Nest unclutterer is a an application that works by blocking users that are

following a predetermined number of people or people that have been

inactive for specific amount of time.

 Twitoria is another application that sorts out the inactive users that you are

following.

Also there are applications to use that will help to organize your new

follows and new followers.

 Tweetsum is an application that classifies all your new follows by using a

DBI (douche bag Index) this system determines for you if a person will be

an annoyance as a follow. You can decide based on their DBI standing

whether or not you wish to follow them.

 Tweepler is an application that allows you to decide if you want to follow a

tweep or send them to a ignore file. This program also gives you statistics

on new follows like their number of tweets per day..
