It provides all the information that earlier commenters have been asking for: stats, relationship reports of mutual follows/followers, plus direct links for blocking and spam reports. http://tntluoma.com/scripts/twitreport/ I like TwitReport for notification, which was developed by prolific Twitter geek @tj.

Look at the URL when you land on a person's page, and you'll see things like: utm_source=follow utm_campaign=twitter utm_mediim=email These are for Google Analytics, so they're using Google ironically to measure how well the follows are going.

A trivial tweak that would be incredibly useful would be to replace the "follow back" link with "you already follow ___" in cases where you do. A significant percentage of follow notices are from people I've followed for whatever reason, and if they're new to my stream or infrequent updaters, I don't always remember whom I've followed.
