Try following @goodbyebuddy on Twitter – sends you a DM everytime someone unfollows you. An excellent Qwitter alternative!

How is it possible that I would get almost 200 Qwitters in the last 20 minutes after one post that was harmless? I have posted that exact thing a zillion times… I don’t get it.

I do not know if I was ever followed by mbites, so I do not know whether to be traumatised. To be honest I cannot understand why anyone would follow me or read my blog, but people do. It is all a mystery.

Hardly earth shattering is it though. And Dom above is right – twitter could just add this. Although a very quick look at the site suggests the developers already have an exit strategy in mind: “Qwitter is not affiliated with Twitter, but wouldn’t it be cool if it was?”. You’ll be lucky…

At least you’ll be able to ask someone why they unfollowed you
God forbid. I don’t want to have to justify why I unfollow people.

Ello. Interesting stuff. I've posted a blog about it here if anyone is interested. Synopsis: I think Qwitter could be really useful as a marketing tool, but it seems right now it's just being looked at as an ego tool. Shame.

better stil would be if twitter asked you, when you unfollow someone, for the reason. maybe from a list of predefined reasons, e.g. ‘too many posts’, ‘too few posts’, ‘posts are too personal’, ‘posts are not relevent to me’, ‘too much effing’, ‘mistaken identity’, ‘I decided to get a life and stop using twitter’. People who have many strangers follower them might find it beneficial to track why people stop following them, or indeed why they start following. But I don’t see why you’d need a third party to do this

surely this should just be a feature of Twitter anyway – I get an email if someone starts following, so why not when they leave? Amazed that someone would go to the effort of developing and hosting something that should be done by twitter itself…
