Most Twitter users are interested, if not obsessed, about who they follow, who follows them, and how they can add more followers (or, in some cases, block followers who spam them).
An interesting option to feed this follower/following appetite is Tweepular, which probably has one of the most colorful, glaring and garish designs you’ll ever see – how many sites, for example, feature a UI with pink, blue, yellow, red, orange and green?
If can put aside the design rainbow, Tweepular has some useful tools to get a better sense of your followers and friends.
- “Mutual Follow Love” feature to see the people you’re following and they’re following back.
- “No Follow Love” shows the people you’re following but aren’t following you.
- “Tweeps Only Followin’ Me” are people who follow you but you’re not following them back. It offers tools to follow a particular person, as well as a bulk follow option.
- “Build Your Tweepularity” provides suggestions of new people to follow with an option to “bulk follow”. There is, however, no information on the basis for those recommendations.
Each tool has options to sort people by “Tweepularity”, number of followers, date added, last updated, ascending or descending. In the near future, Tweepular will add a “Recent Unfollowers” option to see who’s abandoned ship.
Despite the barrage of colors, Tweepular is a user-friendly and useful tool for people into the whole follower/following management game.

Tried it — it never got past the Flash screen where it was getting my characteristics… Too bad, would have to like to have seen what it had to say.
The colors are a bit wild, no doubt.
It worked fairly quickly for me but there's clearly a lot going on within the site.
Give it another try because there is some value there.

Thanks! Really need a tool that can easily tell me who's dropped me like a hot potato as soon as I followed them back… I did try, and my gosh, they are some sort of jelly pen fanatics? My eyes! Somehow there is a massive "glitch": many of the tweets listed as having no follow love for me are spams, i.e. I don't follow them. So that's kind of bizarre, and eh, rendering the tool useless for me in the end.
