\"\"<\/p>\n

I try to spend 30 minutes a week doing a little housekeeping with my various blogs and social media accounts.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s simply tightening up profile bios, updating links or completely deleting accounts<\/a>, maintaining an online presence for business purposes is mostly tedious boring work.<\/p>\n

Well, until today….<\/p>\n

Quick background<\/strong> – I’ve started to spend a little more time on my personal Twitter<\/a> acct actually paying attention to people vs only sharing<\/a> my favorite links of the day.<\/p>\n

Generally, I’ll spend most of my time in Google Reader browsing about 50 or so articles a day and simply clicking “share” to have a few relevant links syndicated out through Dlvr.it to targeted Twitter or FB Business Pages.<\/p>\n

However, now that I’m physically logging in to Twitter direct or through Hootsuite, I decided it was time to cut the list of people I follow down to a more manageable number.<\/p>\n

While there are probably more efficient ways of reducing the noise by using an “UnFollow” Twitter application, I figured I’d spend a quick 30 min. scrolling through everyone I follow to see if there were any obvious profiles that I could delete based on name, photo or bio.<\/p>\n

Not sure exactly what I was looking for, but I thought it would at least give me an opportunity to see some old faces as I scrolled through a few years of Twitter memories.<\/p>\n

So, here are the top 10 reasons I deleted someone from my “follow” list on Twitter:<\/p>\n

1. No Photo<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

Unless I knew who they were, it didn’t make sense to follow someone who was too lazy to upload some sort of profile photo.<\/p>\n

2. No Bio<\/strong> –<\/p>\n

Really? I think that mastering the art of the one sentence bio should be the first thing people focus on before they worry about trying to “dominate the web” with all of the new secret magic bullet SEO strategies that are being taught by the Gurus.<\/p>\n

Of course, I made a couple of exceptions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m sure I’ve got some hidden bios online that suck, but I think I’ve always tried to at least mention my city, industry and intentions.<\/p>\n
