[ NNSquad ] Twitter unilaterally stops sending out activity notification emails regardless of your settings


Twitter unilaterally stops sending out activity notification emails
regardless of your settings

  - - -

Twitter claims to be doing us a favor, apparently turns off all
activity notification emails regardless of your original settings.

Found a note from Twitter buried in my inbox this morning. In essence,
it said "We're turning off all your activity emails, 'cause we just
*know* you want less email! Want them back? You'll have to login and
disable the *smart setting*.

NO Twitter, I don't want you unilaterally telling me I don't have the
settings I want. I don't follow my Twitter stream 24/7, and I depend
on those notifications to know what's going on with replies and other
key account activity. If I had wanted to stop receiving those, I would
have turned them off myself. If your goal here is to drastically cut
down on your outgoing email volume, this isn't the user friendly way
to do it. For example, you could *ask* before just turning all the
activity notification email off.

Twitter, I'm disappointed in you.
