Well, you said any so: if I cancel Twitter sign-in on the homepage I get "The page you were looking for doesn't exist.".
Considering the image on the homepage is just a sketch, is the app actually built or not?

Consider changing the sign in button to a contrasting colour (green?) - I'd wager you'll get more people clicking on it :-)

Thanks, I'll sort that.
Yes, it is. I agree that we probably need to add some real screenshots too :)

The service seems counter intuitive. You advertise "The safe way to manage your company’s Twitter accounts." yet using the service would mean giving access to a third party. We all know that security is hard and you're creating online password manager - if it will be popular, it will gain unwanted attention.
Sure, you are using an access token and not a password for the accounts, but that's not explicitly said anywhere. I suggest you improve the trustworthiness of Echelon on the landing page.

The landing page mentions that you don't have to share passwords, which is what makes it inherently securer than...well...sharing passwords. Agreed that perhaps it could be clearer that by using access tokens, access can be revoked at any time via Twitter directly which removes the risk (compared to people stealing passwords).
