Add a "Block" and "Follow Back" link in e-mail notifications

This is something of an idea I got from WordPress: When an e-mail is sent to me notifying me that someone has started to follow me, give me two links in my message that will allow me to either block the person or follow them.

This is similar to WordPress moderation notifications of comments on my blog which gives me the options to approve the comment, delete it, or mark it as spam. Perhaps Twitter ought to think of doing the same thing? (I think LiveJournal has something like this too)

I'm trying to get the damn marketers off of me. I don't appreciate being used as an advertising platform, especially without my consent.

It's extremely disappointing that privacy controls can break so easily.

Kichigai replied on June 17, 2009 17:50 to the idea "twitter must preview all urls for users to avoid malware." in Twitter:

Twitter doesn't have to do this at all. The onus is on the URL shorteners. In fact, many offer a preview option, including TinyURL and TinyArro.ws (I think Bit.ly offers it too).

Twitter probably can't preview the long URL in the status bar, because that would require them going through every short URL posted and pulling out the destination URL. They have enough trouble keeping the system running as it is, adding more load would probably break the service, and also circumvent services like bit.ly, owl.ly and the DiggBar which offer stat tracking.

If you want to get around all this and not rely on other people to do the right thing, get FireFox and install PowerTwitter, which will tell you where a short URL goes and inserts images into your feed. If you don't like using your browser, check out Tweetie for Mac OS X, which shows you a window of the full URL of any shortened URL when you click on them.

I can't block people at all. No lag, it's just straight up not working!

Unknown TwitPic Error in TG 1.0.8

When ever I try and upload a picture, the image upload 100%, then the machine hangs, hourglasses a couple times, and eventually pops up a posting bubble with the phrase "Unknown TwitPic Error!"
This happens regardless of if I'm on EDGE or WiFi.
I'm using a BlackBerry Curve 8900 on T-Mobile's network.

TwitGoo, Y-Frog and Posterous (perhaps more?) support

Why not add support for TwitGoo, Y-Frog and Posterous? TwitPic is the most popular Twitter-centric picture sharing service out there, but being that it (like Twitter) often falls apart under stress. Because of this, I have my Twitter clients (Tweetie for Mac and Gravity for S60) set to use TwitGoo, though Y-Frog is gaining in popularity, so I don't have to worry as to whether or not TwitPic is up or not: I'm using a different service. And if TwitGoo goes down, I have at least two more services available.

Kichigai replied on May 26, 2009 01:40 to the question "8330 support.." in TweetGenius:

In another thread, asking about 81xx support, I think it was BG (BoyGenius) who said that the program is dependent on the 4.5 version of the BB OS. If you can get your 8330 up to BBOS 4.5, then you can theoretically run TweetGenius (without direct support, however).

Kichigai replied on May 26, 2009 01:39 to the problem "Storm 9530 support?" in TweetGenius:

No, I don't think they support the Storm 9530 yet. The web site says nothing about it, and given that the Storm 9530 has a touch screen, instead of traditional wheel/ball-and-keyboard controls, it might not run properly at all. I might suggest re-filing this under a question, rather than a problem.
