Hi, I made this in my free time because there wasn't really anything that let me delegate tweeting access without all the other junk to people. I envisioned it as something quick and handy for accepting submissions, etc.


I built the similar http://TweetFavor.com, which Twitter promptly shut down once people started using it, post-mortem/rant here: http://restrictionisexpression.com/post/26144987502/im-done-...

Hopefully you don't suffer the same fate, but Twitter's API policies just aren't friendly for fun little projects like these :/


It's rough. I hope there are open competitors that gain traction and are worth relocating to in the future. But for now I still like the platform over forced bidirectional communication platforms like Facebook. At the very least it's for fun, while it lasts.


Checkout http://app.net if you haven't. FatNest/TweetFavor would likely be useful in that context, I hope it gains traction!

At any rate, developers, developers, developers! :) I love our people :)


cool idea!

could be useful for companies (like the one I work at) for employees to tweet via the company official account which is handled by marketing. (If you don't already), you may want a review panel for outgoing tweets, for which (I think) you can charge.
