Bye Bye Bloggers

gizmobenny

After 2 years of faithfully entering, following, sharing, tweeting, G+, Pinterest, Instagram and whatever other hoops I am supposed to jump through. I have decided that I am obviously not the type of person/ profile who is selected to win this type of competition.

Adding the fact that I have now seen several bloggers post that "Giveaway and Competition Accounts will be disqualified from winning my competition"

My Twitter account is constantly reaching it's follower limit, so I'm afraid it's bye bye bloggers.

I have now unfollowed over 300 and it's strangely liberating

Is there any quick way of 'weeding' these out or is it just a case of going through the lot? ty

Sorry I haven't found a quick way.
I've just gone through half of my follows, I'll do the rest tonight.
It took ages , but will free up my ability to follow and tweet in future.

Ty I wish there was some way of putting the oldest first - would make it easier - always worried I will unfollow and there is still comp going on - so time consuming to check Sat and Sun - good time for clear out

Probably better off just creating a new twitter account?

is that allowed? I must admit I hadn't thought to do that but it would be easier

I find this site handy for unfollowing

http://manageflitter.com/

You can select inactive accounts, who haven't tweeted in over a month.

Also accounts that are not following you.

You can unfollow 100 a day on the free site.

I think you can pay to upgrade but I find the free part is fine for me.

If you use Hotmail you can just create a new alias under your main hotmail account.

So if your main email was thisismyemail@hotmail.com, or @outlook.com
you can create a new alias, say thisismycompingemail@outlook.com which will create a new folder in your account (in the left where you get Junk / Deleted etc).
This basically gives you a new email address which you access through your main account, so you can create a new twitter account with that email.

Another vote for manageflitter. Great tools even on the free version.

sleepyjones that had me wondering about Gmail too as Yahoo were the first to add the alias I recall. They don't offer as nice an option but worthy of a mention all the same.
