Qwitter: get notified when you're unfollowed on Twitter

by Jay Hathaway Oct 17th 2008

Sometimes you're just better off not knowing. Maybe one of those times is when someone unfollows you on the microblogging service Twitter, but now there's a service for the morbidly curious. It's called Qwitter, and it'll send you an email notification whenever your account loses a follower.

Qwitter doesn't need a password or a confirmation. Just put in your twitter name and your email address, and you're all set. You'll start getting messages when people unfollow you, including the latest tweet you'd posted before they pulled the plug. It doesn't work retroactively, so if you were hoping to figure out who's already unfollowed you, you'll still have to do that by hand. In case you have second thoughts about signing up for bad news, there's an unsubscribe link in each Qwitter email.

I'd like to know why they decided on the name "Qwitter" when another Twitter tool has been using the same name for quite some time now.

Twitterless (http://www.twitterless.com) will also alert you when you lose followers, granted, not with what tweet they used.

For the narcissistic amongst us, it is handy.

Distasteful.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
