I don't have a twitter account, so I can't even look around the site or find out more about it.

EDIT: Not so much of a jab, rather just to let you know you've maybe lost a customer or two because its not worth the payoff for me to get an account to just look at your site (I don't know if its a site ill like enough to justify that effort!)

It's worth turning off quite a few people for our chat to use twitter handles. The conversation is quite different thanks to a bit of transparency.

Limiting your audience from "fans of electronic music" to "fans of electronic music with twitter accounts (willing to trust us with access their data)" is quite a few people.

Why do you need access to DM's?

it's actually a default setting on twitter for read-only access which is disappearing in the next couple of weeks.

Ah Ok. I thought they'd made that change already. Good to know.
