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 :)
