SO your twitter followers have left you. But why?

Well Contrast, a fantastic little Web App development shop in Dublin, may have provided the answer.

Qwitter isn’t complex. It just sends you an email when someone stops following you. The clever thing is that it includes the last tweet you sent before they quit, so there’s a fair chance you’ll find out why someone doesn’t want to listen to you drone on anymore.

This has some implications for the way people use twitter. It may give some people pause before unfollowing a friend who’s noisy but it may give those who use twitter as primarily a broadcast tool a feedback loop for when they’re losing their audience.

It’s to early to tell what the effects might be but it’s definitely popular and growing fast. They had server meltdown within the first half hour of launch and got bac up with some amazon instances pretty quickly.

This is only one of a few top class twitter apps to come out of Ireland Lately with Twitterfone, TweetRush prominent amongst a few others.

Update: I’ve just been told by CEO Eoghan McCabe that Hosting365 one of Ireland biggest hosting companies have come to the rescue by donating 2 large cloud servers. Well done to them.

With 3000+ signups in the last 7 or 8 hours on a Friday though it makes you wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg for this little app. Is it going the way of twitterfone? Time will tell.
