Your 140 character Bio?

What do you tweet about? And how long have you been on Twitter ? How do you tweet?

I’ve been using Twitter since 8/8/08. I usually use TweetDeck or TinyTwitter. I tweet about ideas, questions or experiences that I think are interesting, amusing or enlightening. Subjects include my profession (marketing) and personal interests, such as creative writing. I continue to be amazed and delighted by the range of thoughtful and helpful tweeps out there.

When and how did you discover Topify and how do you use it ?

I discovered Topify about a month ago. Like many users, I found the standard Twitter new follower notifications very lacking. I tried another twitter notification tool that did not live up to its promise. Of course, the Twitter community turned out to be a great crowdsourcing tool for recommendations for alternatives, and that’s how I found Topify.

The new follower notifications I get via Topify are so much more useful. They not only include the user’s follower, following and update count, but also their bio and recent tweets. Best of all, I can follow back by replying to the email or DM by replying if I am already following. I can easily manage my new twitter followers as I manage my inbox.

I have tried to “pay it forward” by introducing other twitter users to topify.

What is the main benefit for you of using Topify?

Simplicity.

What would you add to topify to improve it?

I am interested to know why twitter followers choose to follow me. It would be cool to have Topify’s notification emails reference my most recent tweet (or someone else’s reply or retweet to something I tweeted) prior to the new follow.

Why do you think Topify is the best option out there to manage followers by email?

Topify gets it. They provide a free, full-featured solution to follower management by email that works as advertised. Simple and effective.

What are your favourite twitter apps (after Topify of course…)?

TweetDeck for the desktop and TinyTwitter for blackberry are my favorite clients. I’ve also recently discovered UberTwitter, which is a very powerful client for the blackberry. DoesFollow.com is a great little utility that lets you see if one person is following another.

What other networks do you use?

LinkedIn and Facebook.

If topify was a bird it would be ?

A hummingbird. Small, fast, fun to watch.

Twitter oAuth on Topify… As promised,  It’s coming :) a little more work

Was a pleasure to be interviewed on Topify by one of our Partners, the popular twit app, @MrTweet

topify.com - up and up (although we are not a destination site)

New enchanced subject line to help you spot the spammers faster.

We just pushed to our site a new video screencast powered by the talented guys at Eyeview. Even if you already know the service, please take a look. We love it and believe it makes everything so clear!

If you like it you can either rate it, embed it or share it right from the player.

Topify is all about giving users back control on their Twitter notifications and interactions. When we introduced the service, we wanted to save you time and clicks. Along the way we discovered that many users wanted to change a few settings every now and then, which we had to operate manually.

Today we are introducing a very first and light version of user’s dashboard that will enable you to:

1. Update/change the email you want to receive your notifications at. You still keep the same topify unique email address you received when registered.
2. Disable confirmation emails you receive after you follow back/unfollow or send a direct message.
3. Update you Topify account with your new Twitter password if you change your password on Twitter.
4. This dashboard will aslo be useful if you forgot your Topify unique secret email address. Just login with your Twitter login/password and you’ll find it again (soon we’ll have OAuth so you won’t have to share your credentials).

In order to have access to those options a login link is now available at the top of the home page of our site. And since we like to save you click this will be reminded to you in all our emails in the footer.

This is just the first version. Over time we’ll introduce more options that will give you even more control on your Topify emails, so you can enjoy it even more.  Also it will allow us too add some major suprises we’ll announce soon.

PS: for those who did not notice, we also updated the home page design with our new feature that enable you to block or unfollow users - feature #4 (soon we ll add mark as spam in a very convenient way)
