In the last couple days, I've noticed my number of followers has increased from 70, to 72, to now 74. That's great!
In my settings, I have checked the box that says I want to be emailed when someone follows me. I have the correct address in my profile. Unfortunately, I seem to no longer be receiving these email updates. The last that I received was on Jan 12, but I know I've gotten new followers since then.
Why do some follower notifications reach my inbox while others do not? I like receiving the friendly e-mail update "so-and-so is following you". It allows me to weed out and block strangers while affirming friends by following them in return. I receive maybe 10% of the actual new follower notices, though. :(
Example Good: Person A follows me. Twitter sends me an e-mail. I check, we're friends! I follow them. Or wait, I don't know this person, I block them.
Example Bad: I login today and find 5 new strange people following me. I don't know them and I never received notification for any of them.
i sent sms (to 40404 through AT&T) and gTalk message 20 hours ago, nothing worked yet...
also, i am not getting any email notices about my followers,
and i've tried to change my background image, but could only change the color...
I want to be notified when someone stops following me. Occasionally I'll notice that my followers have decreased by one, but I can't figure out which one has dropped off. Can I get notified when someone removes me from his or her "following" list?
