Qwitter has been dead (at least in Europe) for months now, and it was time the tweeple took matters in their own hands

Follow @goodbyebuddy on Twitter – it’s an easy and funny way to receive a status update per DM every time someone unfollows you.

I would really like to see a feature where you can secretly unfollow at the Twitter site itself. This would require the ability to make groups, and one could choose to have a “default view”. The spammers who are pretending not to be spammers can be put in group(s) you’d never have to see. When 90+% of your tweets link to your website, you are just a spammer and not real tweeple.

I’m very interested in knowing who unfollows, it’s always seemed odd to me that you get an email notification when someone follows you but nothing when they unfollow. It’s really hard to easily spot on someones page whether they follow you or not and, likewise, whether someone is a mutual friend or if it’s a one way follow. I know it’s not hugely important but it’s nice to know these things. I’ve had people follow me then unsubscribe later, but I stay following them despite the fact I only did it to be polite, if I’d known they unfollowed so quickly I’d have been able to do the same.

I think the fact you say you don’t think anyone would make use of it, then admit that you’ve signed up out of interest shows exactly why I imagine loads of people will be signing up!

I could see Qwitter being a useful tool for non-profits using Twitter to build community. That way they could see if, say, fundraising requests were making people drop them.

On a personal level, I signed up but I fear it will make me crazy.
