Nice script! However, I can’t ignore the “you follow me I follow you and if you unfollow me, I unfollow you” sentiment associated with it. People here purport to be filled with “awesomeness” and make “real friends”. Everyone you or I am interested in doesn’t has to be interested in reading what I have to say! This reduces the entire microblogging act to a number game.

P.S- Oh and no wonder some people I have been following (even though they were not following me) started “reciprocating” back. Guess this script did the magic?

This awesome thing from stupidinboston:

What is this, you ask?

It is the result of a few days of intense coding, where in I created a new GreaseMonkey script. It is not fancy or flashy, but it does the following quite well:

  • On your following page, it adds a new section to the top of the page that shows all of the people who are not following you back.
  • On your followers page, it adds a new section to the top of the page that shows all of the people that you are not following in return.

In using this script myself, I followed some 50 or so people I was not following back, and I unfollowed about 160 people. Yay!

How do you get it / use it? Well, it is pretty simple:

  1. Use Firefox
  2. Install the Greasemonkey addon
  3. Restart Firefox
  4. Go to here to access the NoLovr greasemonkey script page, and click the Install button.
  5. Load up your followers or your following pages, and enjoy.

Thanks! I always wished I could do this. I hate being all involved in the postings of people that I don’t realize are ignoring me.

I decided to post it as Text, sorry Ruhi.

I don’t care who follows me or who doesn’t but I always support neat things that take few days of intense coding. So here ya all, go for a ego trip now! :P

PS: I follow really a small number of people and for particular reasons so it’s easy for me to say “don’t care”. Pros needed this so thank you stupidinboston.
