"Twibble is a J2ME application and so is therefore not specifically for Nokia. Since the launch of Twibble 1.0 ( which I've blogged here: http://girv.in/2d ) I've been looking at other Twitter clients for my Nokia handset, and I wouldn't have looked if the Twibble 1.0 launch had been handled better." - John Girvin

"I've been informed that @tmailer http://twimailer.com can be used to rewrite notification emails and add useful information such as the last 10 tweets and a follow-back link. I've signed up and I'm now waiting for a new follower to test it out! "number of blocks" would be a useful addition I think, and something that @tmailer could add if the information was available through the Twitter API. But there's nothing like seeing a user's Tweet stream to judge for yourself if they're a spammer, linkbot or whatever." - John Girvin

"Putting the user's last 5 or 10 tweets into the notification email would go a long way to helping me decide quickly if (a) they're a spam bot and (b) if I want to follow them back or not. When I click through to their Twitter profile page that's what I judge on, but like you say, perhaps discouraging page visits is not in Twitter's own best interests." - John Girvin
