February’s Twitter unfollowing trend

Updated May 2013

By Jim Connolly | August 6, 2009

The Twitter unfollow trend happened in February!

That’s right, around 6 months ago, three well-known Twitter users unfollowed all their followers; two within a day of each other.

The big names back then were; Jason Calacanis (mahalo.com founder), Natali Del Conte (Cnet) and Loic Le Muer (Seesmic founder.)

Here’s a what happened – be sure to read the comments section for feedback from Loic and Jason. They gave the exact same reasons then for unfollowing, as people are giving today.

So, this Twitter unfollowing trend is not new and it is not news.

Next story please!
