New Sprouter feature: follower notifications
On Sprouter the value is in the connections – you want to follow people who provide value so you create a network of relevant, helpful fellow entrepreneurs. When you follow someone you hope that it becomes mutual – that they will find value in your updates and follow you back. That’s why we’re excited to debut a new feature on Sprouter today – follower e-mail notifications. This means that anytime you follow someone they will be alerted with an e-mail containing some important information about you:
- Your vitals – your name, location & biography
- Your followers/following count
- Your website – people can check out your startup right from this e-mail
- Your last five posts – so they can get a feel for the kind of information you’re providing
These details help provide a snapshot of who you are and your interactions on Sprouter. Similarly, you’ll receive these e-mails anytime someone follows you – it provides an easy way to look at their details and decide whether or not to follow them back. So don’t be surprised if you start seeing these e-mails in your inbox – and we hope they’ll help you create your own circle of entrepreneurs on Sprouter.

Sarah, Email notification of new followers should be a good way to draw inactive users back to Sprouter. I’ve noticed through the beta period that most users look at it a few times and then stop posting. Hopefully, this will remind inactive users to visit the network to see what they’ve been missing.
