Automattically Unfollow Twitter Users who are not following you back

This script is to be run in your web console.

Make sure you are on your profile under "following".
Scroll down as far as you wish, then copy/paste this script into the web console.

It will pause for a random amount of seconds (greater than 2) between each action.
This is in order to not be spammy on the Twitter network.
Random time varies between 1 and a number of seconds set by the user.

Warning:

Do not unfollow more than 200 people in a 24 hour period.

Twitter does not like mass unfollowing (or following) and will lock your account.
To many lock outs and you could get your account banned.
