Twitter Now Emails You Whenever Someone You Follow Retweets You

Despite all of the gurus who say that Twitter follower count doesn’t really mean anything, you can’t deny that you get a little thrill when you get an email notifying you of someone new who will be reading your daily 140-character witticisms. And Twitter wants to give you another reason to get a little giddy about what’s going on on the network: you’ll now get an email every time someone that you follow retweets you or favorites one of your tweets.
