As we are building our Twitter network (whether personal or for a brand) there comes a time when it’s a little difficult to keep up with the influx of new followers. While Twitter’s email notifications have improved over the years, they don’t necessarily give you all the information you need to follow someone back and it can be time consuming to look at every individual new follower profile as notifications come in throughout the day. The tools below can help you keep up with day-to-day updates associated with your Twitter account.
NutshellMail
NutshellMail is an email notification tool that allows you to customize what information you’d like to see and how often you’d like to see it. For instance I can see a list of all my new Twitter followers, my quitters (people that have stopped following), search term mentions and an overview of the most recent tweets from my Twitter lists as often as every hour or every Tuesday at 2:00 P.M. Nutshell mail also goes beyond just Twitter to service users of Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn and Ning.
Topify
Topify is another upgrade for Twitter email notifications. The new follower email is streamlined and informative with the follower count, following, and the most recent tweets. Topify also allows you to easily follow a user back by simply responding to the notification email. Topify is currently an invite only beta but you can request an invite on their homepage.
Twimailer
Twimailer is very similar to Topify in that it shows you followers, following, bio, and updates. Twimailer also replaces your primary Twitter email address so you don’t receive duplicate email notifications. Twimailer is currently open to the public and a free tool to use.
Tweetymail
Tweetymail is a more general notification email tool that sends alerts based on custom search filters, mentions and new followers. However Tweetymail has a few features that separate it from the rest. Tweetymail works similar to Posterous in that you can tweet (including pictures), unfollow, block and DM all from your personal email account.
