Do you have a lot of followers that are spam, or just inactive accounts or are you following people that are no longer active?  Do you have a lot of them?  You don’t want to go through your Twitter account and look at each twitter profile to see if you want to keep following them or not, right?  Because that would just take to long wouldn’t it? Yep. Well I found a perfect website where you can manage your Twitter’s followers and who you follow. It’s a service called Twerp Scan and it scans your followers and the ones you follow and displays them in a nice format that shows how many tweets they posted, how many followers, and when they last tweeted.
