Thumb

This script highlights the entries of "friends" (users you follow) 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 script 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.

Auto-mode


You have to edit the script source for this as this is a very unpolished feature.
  • set property TwitterRemoveNonFollowers.autoMode to true
  • set property TwitterRemoveNonFollowers.keepPages to the number of the most recent pages of following users you want to keep

Start the script by opening the "following" page, http://twitter.com/following
You may want to skip a few pages at the beginning if you recently started following new twitter users, to allow them to follow you back before you unfollow them.

The script will auto-advance one page at a time once you start it by clicking the Remove Marked (xx) button.

NOTE


Use this script at your own risk, it can and will remove users you're following in an automated way and there's no "undo button" on Twitter!

Make sure you also allow scripts included from twimg.com if you're using the NoScript add-on!!!
