Useful tool. Some advice: It seems the order of user is random, I hope there're some better algorithms to present the potential users I may want to kill. The activities of user, times of one user have been killed may count.

agreed. I need something that tells me how often I interact with fellow tweeters...and based off that, keep/remove.

Thanks for the advice! Right now we're just grabbing the data from Twitter and presenting it without sorting it by any kind of algorithm, but we'll definitely think about how to present the people you're most likely to "kill" first, that's a good suggestion.

I see a button to sign in with Twitter, but nothing to tell me what--if anything--you will do with any data you obtain from Twitter or from observing my activities using your application. I suggest you put your privacy policy right on the front page. If it's privacy-positive, I'd brag about it, e.g. "We'll never share your data with 419 scammers."

Good points. We are privacy positive, so we'll figure out a good way to convey that. Thanks!

I like it. Couple of nit-picky points. 1) The instructions are too small and placed wrong. Shouldn't it be shown above the login button? I do like that it's a clear 1,2,3 though. 2) No way to log out (that I could find anyway).

Interesting, we'll definitely look at improving the landing page. Good point on the logout button that will be added shortly.
