Back in October we showed you the ten things that would get you unfollowed by us on Twitter. But times have changed. So here's how we cut down the amount of people we were following on Twitter (again). It should be noted that we accidentally followed quite a lot of people when a website auto-recommended us friends to follow and we forgot to turn it off. Obviously it was deranged and we accidentally followed a slice of the universe we would have been better off ignoring.1. Unfollow anyone who mentions or re-tweets anything to do with Justin Bieber.
2. Unfollow anyone who actively promotes 'happiness mentality' using words like 'abundance' and ad hoc quotes from religious leaders.
3. Unfollow anyone who uses txt speak or 'street' slang yet still manages to say less in 140 characters than even the most verbose idiot.
4. Unfollow anyone who 'gives a shout out' to all their Twitter 'peeps'.
5. Unfollow anyone who keeps thanking God for absolutely everything in every other tweet.
6. Unfollow anyone who auto-posts anything like 'Someone unfollowed me and I know who it is using website x'.
7. Unfollow anyone whose profile pic is Justin Bieber.
8. Unfollow anyone who looks like they might actually like Justin Bieber.
9. Unfollow anyone who looks a bit like Justin Bieber.
10. Unfollow anyone who uses the letter J or B in a tweet.
Using these tactics we were able to cull the amount of people we were following down to about 4.
Here's our original 'ten ways' post.

Having got your follows down to 4, you can add variety by following all their #FF's. You'll be back to 1000 in about 3weeks. Your advice on choosing followers would be most welcome in the comments section of www.bloggingforblondes.com

James - that was number 9 because it obviously included him himself!

No idea. You see, this is what we're talking about. Who are all these people? And who are you?
