Analyze New Followers feature
Many people are turning off the 'New Follower' e-mail because of the spam-bot's that have invaded Twitter in the past few weeks. This solves the spam problem but it's really hard to find recent followers who are legitimate friends.
We really need a feature for analyzing recent followers. This would go a long way towards controlling the spam. Here’s a proposal for how this feature would work...
Click a button called 'Analyze New Followers'. I suggest that this button shows up on the Followers page.
User is asked: ‘New followers since when?’
Options for this are presented in a drop-down box with these options
- in the past day
- in the past 3 days
- in the past week
- in the past month
- show everyone that I’m not following
After making the selection, a sortable list is presented showing:
* User ID (links to Profile page)
* Number for Followers, Following, and Followers / Following Ratio
* Profile photo
* URL of the new Follower’s Web Site (if they have one)
* Flag users who have a high level of blocking (Twitter - is this info available?)
* Date that they started following you
* How many people have they followed in the past 24hours
* The last few tweets from each new follower (make this a mouse-over option)
Finally, the list should include checkboxes / buttons for bulk following or blocking.

Inappropriate?I like the stoptwitterspam site. I agree it'd be nice to summarise users more easily.
There are possible methods to find two of the three items not found from the profile page.
* Date that they started following you
(I keep up with my email notifications, so I don't generally have a problem with this)
* How many people have they've followed in the past 24hours
twitterholic might be an option if they tweet often enough.
e.g. http://twitterholic.com/twitter/motow...
the remaining list item that I haven't seen addressed anywhere:
* Flag users who have a high level of blocking (Twitter - is this info available?)
Hope this helps, thanks for your great site! -
Inappropriate?Or.. give us a way to see the latest tweets from our followers, just like the Public Timeline, but limited to our followers, so we can figure out which are legit and which are just spam bots. :)
