Account Search is a powerful ManageFlitter feature which enables you to discover relevant people to follow on Twitter.

ManageFlitter has one of the largest databases of Twitter user information. You can search through details of over 80million Twitter accounts within seconds!

The Search feature is available to both free and Pro ManageFlitter users. Free ManageFlitter users are limited to following up to 50 users when searching for accounts. Pro users have no ManageFlitter restrictions however we advise all users to following within Twitters guidelines and limitations.

We recommend that our users never follow more than 100 people a day, but don’t worry – ManageFlitter will warn you before you go over this limit.

ManageFlitter's unfollow tool identifys spam or fake accounts you follow on Twitter and enables you to unfollow them en masse. There are a number of signals which indicate fake accounts on the ManageFlitter system. These signals combine together to give a final score out of 100. If the score is over 50%, they are considered a fake or spam account.

Signals can be classified as;

PowerPost is one of our most popular features and is used to schedule tweets for appropriate times.

PowerPost analyses when your followers are most active on Twitter so you are able to post Tweets for maximum reach.

PowerPost can also help you schedule your tweets based on when followers in specific locations are most likely to be online.

For example if ManageFlitter were to have a "ManageFlitter users' meet-up" in New York , we would want to send out a tweet that is optimised for when @manageflitter followers in New York are most likely to be online.  

That is - we would want to try publish a tweet when not only our followers in general are most likely to be online but when our followers in New York are most likely to be online.

The following steps would help optimise the tweet appropriately:

Step One: Create your tweet.

ManageFlitter uses Twitter API to get the details of your account including who you follow and who follows you.

Twitter's API is "rate limited" which means we can pull a limited amount of data out of it in a given period of time.

The limits are per-user and per-application which means the usage of other ManageFlitter users or your usage of other Twitter applications do not affect your loading time.

How does rate limiting affect the loading time for your account?

ManageFlitter syncs with your Twitter account in 3 steps (2 for free accounts):

 

1) First we get a list of all accounts that you are following

During a 15 minutes time-window we can ask Twitter 15 times, and each time Twitter gives us up to 5,000 of the accounts that you are following.

So if you are following more than...

The Super Bowl 2013 has just finished.

As expected Twitter was VERY busy before, during and after the game.

We thought we would track - using the new ManageFlitter Analytics (to be released soon) - what devices people used to tweet during the game.  This was based on a randomised sample of tweets.

 

Twitter Clients Used During the Super Bowl 2013

As you can see Twitter for iPhone was the most popular Twitter client.
