Interesting idea. Some things I've noticed:

1) It could use a description on the main page, so that new users know what they're in for.

2) Scrolling through the result page (using the mouse's scroll wheel) makes my browser stall for > 10 seconds before loading new entries. (Firefox 3.6.3 on Win7)

3) The 'beta' badge on the main page has a very light yellow color, which makes the white text hard to read. The label text could also use some letter spacing.

4) The 'y' in the ReadEvery logo is cropped a bit too much, making it look like a 'v'.

5) The results page could use some filter options, to focus on location or relevancy. It would also be nice to be able to remove users from the list on a case-by-case basis.

6) Retweet and reply buttons (per tweet) would be also be nice.

I see what you mean. It definitely needs to be fixed on Firefox. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your time on this. Really appreciate it. I am working on the remove/unfollow user functionality already. The retweet/reply buttons is a very good idea :-) I had not seen the cropped 'y'. Will fix that too

I was curious about how it behaved with locked profiles. The authentication dialog that popped up was not very attractive, and I certainly didn't want to enter my password in it.

I am still working on that. I didn't know if there would be any demand for that so I pushed it down in priority. Basically, the locked profiles can never be viewed by any other user. To view it, the user has to enter via OAuth. I am still working on it and what you see (the authentication dialog) is still unfinished. I will definitely update here once I am fully ready. Thanks for pointing it out

It's interesting, I guess, but the focus of Twitter is the tweets and the way this is presented makes me think they're not the main focus, surely they should be -- unless I missed the point of your application?

You haven't missed it. The "additional" purpose is to be able to find interesting profiles by drilling down to see who people I follow are following but tweets and their readability is very important. Thanks
