I like the UI but "Tool to manage" is bit far fetching for displaying links.

Totally understandable but the people who have been using this service say that it's been extremely useful and that it solves a need for them. That's essentially our goal.

Good goal and didn't mean to undermine the usefulness.

Thanks, no problem at all.

I think it's useful - all of these sites fall into the social networking space, but they all have different ways of changing these things (and every site is changing them, at that).

Next logical step is tapping into API's for settings API's have control over so you can streamline the settings update (obviously that will never be completely possible for usernames/passwords etc - but the more social apps and customizable settings out there the more of a pain point that will become).

Invalid option / site selection ends up with 'undefined in undefined' http://i.imgur.com/1INkZ.png

I did it just to see if Pinterest had a 'change design' option.

strange, firefox has problems with innerText Fixed now, thanx for feedback

It would be nice if these combinations had permalinks so they were bookmarkable. This way, if the service providers' change their underlying URLs, this site's permalinks could still be useful.

What do you have at the back-end?

nothing :) 100% client side

This definitely has a backend. Something has to serve up the page.

yeah, apache But I'm pretty sure he mean what server side code we have there, and there isn't any

Just a nit-pick but soon as I load the page I see the twitter icon with "Facebook" underneath it - http://i.imgur.com/tFBOe.jpg

Other than that, I like the implementation of it :)

Fixed, and thanx :)

Wow pretty slick. Add more options to intuitively control all the FB privacy settings (I only see a few basics covered here) and I think this can really gain some traction.

My experience:

1) I click on "change profile picture" 2) I hover the options - that breaks the layout 3) I choose "change bio" 4) Im back at "change profile picture"

Which browser and OS?

firefox nightly on debian

dunno about layout, but the choices should work now, can you please try and lemme know?

yes, the choices work now.

At risk of being downvoted, I have to say how amusing (wonderful?) it is on Hacker News, when someone asks "Browser and OS?" in response to javascript/css bug, the answer is "firefox nightly on debian."

Was very fun working on it! If you guys have suggestions or questions you can find me (@altryne) or Ben (@benln) on twitter :)

Very cool, but the UI is a tad confusing. Perhaps make Pick to choose a little darker.

Great idea, thanks!

pretty useful tool, I like the idea and implementation a lot!

Weird behavior I found on mac os x/chrome 17: the arrows inside the squares dont do anything (not sure they're supposed to but in that case i'd just get rid of them)

Yeah a last minute bug that slipped by, fixed now :)
