Wait, what does it do? It might be obvious once I sign in with Twitter, but I'm not likely to do that unless I know what it is.

I agree that it needs an About or an FAQ page describing the service. I sort of guessed what it does by the tagline "same tweet, same time," but I shouldn't have to. If I'm right about what I think it does though, it's really neat idea.

It will send that message, from all the accounts when the goal is reached. There are 2 types of goals, number of people of a specific date/time.

This project is awesome, congrats on building a cool product. Wondering if there might be an opportunity for you to use this as a tool for marketers to get a trending topic on twitter or for political candidates to sign people up for their support? You could drive some serious awareness if you had 10,000+ people all tweet one message at the same time.

Yeah...when I first heard about it, that's exactly what I thought.

Granted...I also thought...wow that could be spammy.
