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.
