Twimailer: Quite possibly THE killer app for Twitter

One of the things I hate about twitter is the lame email you get from Twitter when someone starts following you. This is where Twimailer comes in. Go to Twimailer.com, enter your email address and get a special email address for twitter to send all your follower notifications through. Twimailer then pulls lots more info about that user then Twitter gave you and sends it along to you. Helps you make better decisions on who to follow.

Below is a video to explain it in more detail:

UPDATE 05MAR09: Some people have worried about the security aspect of Twimailer and changing your email address in Twitter. @chrismessina posted a nice how to on using Gmail (you could use other email clients) to use Twimailer more securely and without making any modifications to Twitter. Nice!
