Dear @twitter, can I have a little more info please?

I receive a message like the one below from twitter quite a lot. Since Twitter is the great sensation right now, some people just start to follow everyone and his brother in the attempt to be followed back. So far, is expected, no big deal.

First of all, thanks twitter for improving the info on the notification email some time ago, but what I find ironic is that twitter has improved their notification emails to give you, as the email says, "a little information" about your follower, but the information is just how many people he/she follows, how many follow back and the number of updates.

What about the bio? Maybe a summary of tweets? I understand that sending a link that may be contained on it may be misleading and dangerous, but there are ways around that.

Dear @twitter, can I please have more information on my email? Thanks ;)
