Qwitter: Find Out Who Unfollows You on Twitter
Qwitter is a very simple free tool which sends you an email when someone stops following you on Twitter. It even gives you the exact tweet which might have possibly caused you to be unfollow. Just enter your username and email to get set up. No need for passwords.
I think you should probably take this with a pinch of salt because its really very difficult to determine why someone has unfollowed you (except when you ask them directly). The exact moment after they unfollow could be based on several reasons, some of them unrelated to specific tweet.
If you get upset when people unfollow you, this will probably not be a tool that you want to use. Here’s an example of what the unfollow email will look like. Image from Flickr:

Great site, going to share.

See, there is a flaw in this. Sometimes the program doesn’t update you on why people unfollow you, or that they did at all, and then suddenly one day you tweet and Qwitter sends emails for 30 unfollows from over the past month, and lists them as being because of your latest tweet.
In short: the site has an inaccurate delay alot of the time.
Absolute crap. I “signed up” for this service approximately 5 days ago. Since then, I have had *several* people stop following me. I did not receive ONE single e-mail from Qwitter … not one.
I now use MyTweeple and their export function to make comparisons on my own. Granted, it’s a bit of a pain in the arse and it doesn’t tell me why someone may have stopped following me, but at least it works.
I am also trying out TwitApps’ Follows (@ta_follows) and so far, I am at least getting e-mail summaries from them, even if they are a bit sporadic and delayed.
Great site! Keep the posts coming. Cheers
@AzTwitterer: Yeah, you’re obviously one of the few people who’ve read/WRITTEN this (I love the blog but seriously did you try the service, Tweeterism? It’s terrible) that have tested it as well. It worked for me *at first* but suddenly slowed down. It still lets you know but it does it in bulk when you least expect it. It’s a service that definately needs fixing up.
Whoa… this site is pretty awesome
your layout is really well designed, and your blogs are (judging from what i’ve read) very interesting. heehee… consider yourself favorited. 
AzTwitterer – that was exactly what happened to me! I signed up with Qwitter one week ago and have had dozens of people unfollow me with nary a word from Qwitter. I actually wrote to Qwitter two days ago to ask why I hadn’t heard anything and they never wrote back either. Not even an autoresponder.
I wish I could find that tweet that listed several competing services.
