delete your account? :/ - directeur

میلاد این آواتارش شبیه توئه =)))))))))))))))))) - Hamed Safa

No, directeur, maintain my account but delete all the people I follow - Jorge Escobar from IM

Hum... sorry, I have no idea Jorge :( - directeur

Sort of reset it - Jorge Escobar

I wonder if I delete my account and create it immediately if I can still get the same username - Jorge Escobar

I think you can change your username anytime, but would they "free" a recently deleted username? - directeur

that's the question. No matter how much I've Googled it, I can't find any scripts to do this. Maybe I'll have to write it meself... ;) - Jorge Escobar from IM

You could sign up for SocialToo for one-time fee of $25 and unfollow all of them in one go. :) - Dilip Dand

Dang! I should write me some apps and charge for them! :p - directeur

Yeah, Dilip, that is also another option - Jorge Escobar

I'll try the Karmic app Eric, thanks! - Jorge Escobar

go through them one by one and unollow the one's you don't like - The Real sofarsoShawn

that's what I thought, but I'm following 900 people, with Twitter's website it'll take forever - Jorge Escobar from IM

The best way: switch permanently to Friendfeed. :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

The username is available as soon as you change to another... - Gus

1. Change username to 'unwanted'. 2. Create new account with old (wanted) username. It works. 3. Delete 'unwanted' account. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Sounds scary, but I'll do it - Jorge Escobar from IM

Remember when I tested Guy Kawasaki's unfollowing script? http://twitter.com/directe... DO IT et que sera sera! :) - directeur

1. Create new account with temp username. 2. Change current account's username. 3. Change new account name to jungleg. - Gus

Jorge, Mahendra's process works. I have done similar thing for my other account. But, I will not go through that again. It is a bit nerve-wrecking. - Dilip Dand

You know Judy, I follow a lot of people in FriendFeed too, but with all the Lists and Groups things are much more manageable. I think Twitter would get more usage if they finally stopped thinking about TV Shows and build the Groups and Lists within their platform. Hell, even Facebook did it. I just feel doing groups with Twitter clients is not very efficient. - Jorge Escobar

I'd recommend Twitter Karma - http://dossy.org/twitter... - Nathan Chase

Ok, I'm deleting my account. If something happens, whatever, I really have FriendFeed as my main tool. I'll let you guys know how it went. - Jorge Escobar

@Nathan I tried Karma and it timed out getting my contacts :( - Jorge Escobar

No need to delete, just name it something else. - Gus

keep your account and use refollow. load up your followers, select all, unfollow. - Carlos Ayala

Just delete the account. - k00pa

No more jungleg :( - Jorge Escobar

IMO: Delete this thread so no one knows that it's not yet free. - directeur

Ok, I get 'Username has already been taken'... am I screwed? - Jorge Escobar

Kuso! Maybe it's in their cache or something, don't worry... crossing fingers for you! - directeur

I recommend changing the username instead of deleting because it takes too long to sign up a new account and inbetween someone could take the name. - Gus

@Jorge And what about the history of tweets? - Roberto from iPhone

It's been 1 hour and I can't still change it to jungleg. I guess they have a long caching period. - Jorge Escobar

Good news y'all, I was able to do an account restore and have gotten back jungleg with all the following reset (and kept all my followers). So after a splitting headache I survived. I'll document everything on a blog post tomorrow. - Jorge Escobar

There is a japanese word for this: YOKATTA! :) - directeur

All's well that ends well. - Bruce Lewis

I really was worried because I told you "do it et que sera sera". I felt guily, I'm so happy that everything's fine! - directeur

Thanks Bruce! Yokatta! dir! - Jorge Escobar

Waiting to know what exactly happened. But congrats anyway! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

was it something I said? - Phil Maxwell
