BirdDrop™

Twitter has become lousy with mindless retweeters, name droppers and people begging for followers. Use BirdDrop to unfollow them and tell the world to do the same.

The Reason:

Campaigning for Followers

"I'm only 3 followers away from 200! Please help!"

As much as I would like to wish you success in acheiving this monumnetal accomplishment and help you build your self-esteem, I believe every one of your followers should unfollow you this instant. Good bye.

Begging for Retweets

"PLEASE RT!!! I'm eating lunch."

Just because you choose to expose us to the inane details of your existence, does not mean I will subject my followers to the same. In fact, I choose to unfollow you right now. Good riddance.

Excessive Retweeting

"Retweeting @kevinrose: Check out this link..."

Just because you follow cool people doesn't make you cool by association. Kevin Rose has over 300,000 followers, so we all saw that tweet the first time. Thanks for trying, though! Unfollowed.

High Tweet Frequency

about 1m ago "...ahhhhhhh!"

about 2m ago "First sip of coffee..."

Yes, Twitter is about what you are doing right now, but give your thumbs a break. You pwn my feed and my friends can't get a tweet in edgewise. I like my friends. I unfollow you. Sayonara.

Relentless Self-Promotion

"New blog post: How to Blog Eight Times a Day"

If I wanted to read your blog, I would read your blog. If it were any good I may even subscribe. But your blog sucks, and I don't want to hear about it anymore so I am unfollowing you. Later on.

Reusing Your Own Content

"RT @myotheraccount: I feel important today."

Well, you're not. Self-retweeting, plagiarizing and reposting your own updates shows us how pathetic you really are. And since I was following your personal AND professional accounts, I will now unfollow both of you.

Using Twitter as an I.M. Client

"@myonlyfriend LOL!"

Your followers really don't care that you're laughing right now. Most of your updates are a complete waste of our time, so I am unfollowing you. Maybe you should try AIM, Skype or USPS. Yours truly, me.

Following exactly 2000 people

2000 friends. 98 followers.

Way to peg the meter! At one time you seemed intelligent enough for me to follow, but now I see you're just trying to get the attention of as many people as possible. Look elsewhere. Unfollowed.
