Manage & Clean Up Your Twitter Friends With ManageFlitter

Twitter is a social network that lets you make friends and follow their updates. If somebody is updating their status too frequently, their updates can hijack your news feed hiding updates from others.

For these and a number of other reasons, you might want to clean up your Twitter friends list and unfollow some people.

If you try to do this manually you will have to make observations on who is tweeting too frequently or not tweeting at all. Needless to say this manual operation will be very time consuming if you have many Facebook friends. A much better cleaning option is ManageFlitter.
