Why i need to unfollow people on Twitter?

Discussion in 'Twitter' started by lapidus, Dec 3, 2012.

    Ok folks i am little bit confused about people who i follow and people who are my followers.

    Everybody want to have lot of Followers on they Twitter account,ok that is fine. But i was try something and then i can't get it.

    Example : If i have 500 followers and 500 people which i following, then i unfollow 500 following people and i can't see nobody on my wall to post anything. How is that possible?

    I mean if i have already 500 followers i must see their posts and they can see my posts? When i have 0 following, and 500 followers why i can't see posts from my 500 followers on my wall?

    After that i again start to have following people and then i see posts on my wall . Confused total.


    Please just correct answer because i not understand why is this happening Thanks folks

    It is simple. If you unfollow someone you won't see their tweets in your timeline anymore. They will be able to see your tweets unless they unfollow you or you block them.

    Ok Devtard now i can understand little.

    Ok let make this to be very clear.

    If i have 500 followers and i have 0 following i will not see any post on my timeline,but what is with a posts from my followers?

    Why i can't see posts on my Time line from my followers (500 of them) ?

    Did then my 500 followers can see my posts on my timeline if i have 0 following?

    You cannot see their posts - they are following you but you are not following them. Your followers can see your tweets.

    Well, now I am not really sure that I understand what you mean, a screenshot might make the situation more clear.

    Hi Lapidus! I think I got your query.

    I believe the reason why you are not seeing any posts at all is that you have un followed your followers making you see 0 posts.
    However, If you're going to create a post or a number of them, your followers will still see the posts that you have posted while you won't see theirs.

    If you are really interested in reading peoples tweets then better follow people that you'd like to read tweets from. If you do not follow any then you won't be able to read any.
    If you would like people to see your posts, make sure the people you would like to read your posts are following you or at least have connection to your account at least through 1 or 2 degree of friends.

    Hope this helps. :)
    Let me know if it does.
    Cheers!

    It's a bit clear how twitter works shortly it's:

    Followers = you can't read their tweets
    Following = you can read their tweets

    Another thing be sure that if you start following people to get followers but then decide to unfollow these people you can be sure that one by one they will unfollow your account

    yes if you have followers and they not following you back then make sure you unfollow them. That way you have room to at more follower. Key is to make sure that you provide some great content to the people that is following you.

    If they don't have the same POI as you, what's the point of following them. It's as simple as that.
