So the twitter changed their notification emails for when someone follows you. And they are definitely an improvement over the old notifications.
But they are broken.
I’ve read several articles talking about the “richer, HTML version” of the email. Richer? What year is it? Formatting doesn’t make something “rich”, data does.
Data is rich, markup is lame.
With gmail and fastmail, and other email systems, you can use plus notation to keep track of who is passing around your address. When I sign up for something online, I’ll often use myaddress+domain@fastmail.fm as my address. This address simply works and I receive the wanted email. If they sell/hand over my address, then I’ll know – and there would be hell to pay.
Often reading about economics, foraging for and growing food, playing silent sports, and making software. Also, ping pong!
