FriendOrFollow - who is following you?

FriendOrFollow is a simple tool that gives you a list of the people you are following that are not following you back. You enter in your Twitter user name, wait for the list to generate and then see who isn't following you. You can sort by a number of parameters if you are looking for something in particular.

For the most part, you are probably following more people than are following, so don't get to worked up about it, but there may be some people that you decide to unfollow based on the fact that they are not following you.

Twitter Search

Twitter Search is part of the Twitter family, residing on their platform. When you use Tweetdeck, the search fields are in fact Twitter Search. When you search on keywords, the results come back with the most recent tweets with those words in it and then keeps going back in history.

You can also see the Top 10 keywords being "discussed" on Twitter at that time. You can also find this in the right side of your Twitter home, just under the search field, which is another way to access Twitter Search.

Qwitter - alerts when people unfollow you

You shouldn't get to hung up on people leaving you, but if you feel like you are losing a lot of followers and you quite figure out why maybe Qwitter can help. Qwitter is a simple tool that emails you when someone stops following you. In the email message that they send, they let you know what was the tweet that the person left you on.

Just a note that this tool seems to erratic from time to time.
