New Twitter followers pages still lacks most important feature

By now I’m sure you’ve all see the new and somewhat improved twitter followers page.

While the new additions such as the list and expanded view, as well as showing their last tweet are very welcome, Twitter has still managed to miss the most important and most needed feature.

Why, oh why, did they not show the person follower and following count?

In this climate of mass marketers, douchebags and spammers, the following to follower numbers are often the easiest and quickest way to spot someone who is a waste of your time.

I would have thought that this blatantly obvious addition would have been top of the list of changes.

    The new way of keeping an eye on the following/followers is fine but still improvments are to be implemented Showing up No. of followers for others is a good idea; this might shed lights over who's the person there, however I am not happy with the vast growing tweeter-spammers and think this should be taken seriously. It's a time-wasting to check whether who follow you is a real person or spammer!
