Now, using Tweepi presets, you can choose which followers to follow based on your preferences:

  • If you want someone active, check his/her last tweet and the number of followers.
  • If you want someone to retweet you, look for those with high influence.
  • If you’re looking for valuable tweets, you should choose linkless ramblers…

And so on…
