Steps to manage your Twitter Followers using Gmail Inbox
Â
Step 1: Login to your Gmail account and check a mail from Twitter
Step 2: Twitter send you a mail whenever someone follows you there, so open any of that mail which you got recently.
Step 3: Note down the email ID from which the mail came to you. In case of above example ID, the sender’s mail would be
twitter-follow-friends11.bryanadams=gmail.com@postmaster.twitter.comÂ
Step 4: Create a filter to get the twitter mail labeled as well as delivered in a separate folder (other than the Inbox). To create a filter, click on the “Create filter” button at the top of you mailbox (as shown below).
Step 5: A new window will appear. There you need to fill the “From” column with the email ID from Step 3. Click on the “Next Step” button after that.
Step 6: Now filter the mails from the email ID mentioned in the “From” column in such a way that it should skip the Inbox of Gmail account, get labeled with some name and then it should move into a separate folder named by you (for me its twitter). The next screen will ask you for these things as shown below,
 Step 7: Click on the “Create Filter” button. You are done. Now you have a clean Inbox in Gmail and you can manage your twitter followers by replying them with a welcome message or sending them a link of your blog. This way you can use twitter more effectively.
You can choose the option as “Not to skip the Inbox” but get labeled with some name and color. This way you can directly look at the labeled mails and respond to them.
Go ahead and find the people near you who are using Twitter and manage them effectively in a very simple and faster way.

Since Twitter’s India SMS shortcode doesn’t work with my service provider – Loop Mobile Mumbai (inspite of my having checked with both my service provider and the Twitter FAQ which say that it does), what I do is have GMail forward the Direct Message notification to my cell phone. This thankfully works because Loop Mobile subscribers have an Email-to-SMS feature wherein sending email to @loopmobile.co.in will send the email as an SMS to that particular cell number.
This way at least I know when I get a DM immediately even when I’m AFK.
