Good. At least it shows a pic, and the numbering details for the updates/follow etc. Think I would be happier if the user's bio is shown in the email, along with recent update as the numbers don't really tell me much about this person, and I'll be over to their Twitter page anyhow, just like before.

Anyway, it's an improvement for Twitter, so way to go.

That seems like a valuable tool. I use twitter for its value - I share value therefore I receive value - My tweets will never contain mundane info that is irrelevant to my followers - so those that want to tag on, I want to know what they are about, too - I have a column in tweetdeck to follow those that really interest me - I believe it's the searchability tools that make twitter valuable for me, at least. Not quantity, as it is for some "gamers." Thanks again for the post!

HTML emails suck, there should always be an option for plain text only and not yapoo's or shotmail's munged plain text either.

They also have changed the from: and to: addresses several times in the last couple of days, wreaking repeated havoc on my mail processing rules. Have they finished?
