Twitter Tool: My Tweeple
One of the things that drives me crazy about Twitter, which I mostly love, is the impossibility of managing my followers and followees easily. The inbuilt interface is clunky and not very helpful and there’s no way you can match up who you are following with who follows you. (Call me a statsaholic, but I like to know that kind of thing.
That’s why I was happy to discover MyTweeple, which syncs with your Twitter account to provide an easy way to manage the people you are following and those who follow you. You can see at a glance:
- who is following you
- who you are following
- if the following is mutual
And that’s not all. You get an at-a-glance view of their profile, so you can see their website, the number of updates they have made, the number of people they are following and who follow them and the ratio of followers to followees. (Not that important to me, but kind of interesting, all the same.) You can block, hide, follow and unfollow from that page and it updates your Twitter account.
Another cool feature is the ability to see people’s latest updates by clicking on the ‘view’ link. You can even indicate which people are being spammy by clicking a ‘ding’ link. I was pleased to see that most of the people who appeared in my stats had no dings, and I plan to look at the others very carefully.
I think that MyTweeple provides some much needed Twitter functionality, and I plan to use it at least until Twitter improves its own tools for managing followers.
