I love it! But why would you need to verify that your email is associated to your username? What if you'd want to stay anonymous and not let whoever created the app know your private contact information? The information is out there for the public anyway, I don't see an issue with following someone else's username if that is the reason. And if the reason is to prevent other people from signing up random people to get spammed with notifications, or because the service will only handle one email per username, why not use email verification instead of username verification?
