Twitter will purge inactive accounts

Twitter has announced that it will remove the accounts of inactive users in December.

The company is targeting profiles that have shown no activity in the last six months. This cleansing process will start on 11 December and will be completed over a number of months.

Twitter told The Verge that it was deleting the accounts in an attempt to present more reliable information on the platform.

Before I deleted my account about 60% of the people I follow where inactive.

Awesome. I want no part of that dung heap.

It's good move - some great new usernames will become available.
