Twitter Friend or Follower

This site doesn’t appear to work and I don’t recommend it. Many of the people who show up under “followers who are not friends” actually are people I’m following now. I also can’t attest to the security aspect of this site, it gets your Twitter login.

Thanks for reminding me to do my twitter karma. Went to do it last night and it was grumpy - showed me not showing people that I was definitely following. Fortunately tonight worked fine and I removed people who aren’t following me (that’s my rule if they add me then dump me I unfollow them because I already suffer from too much noise — even though I’m the greatest noise creator).

Meanwhile Twhirl is really nice and works well but not my first choice for managing large numbers of followers if you actually want to maintain conversations.
