I'll bet $20 bucks you get shut down by your host for spam complaints.

There are a few spelling and grammatical issues.<p>"in a fun, and harmless way": comma isn't needed. "There # Number: You probably want "their" (ditto for 'There Email') and "# Number" is redundant. Use either the pound sign or the word. You also probably mean "phone number."<p>How are you making sure your service won't be abused?

Out of curiosity: What bet did someone lose to you, and not pay, for you to take the effort to make the site?

Let's think about the what's going to make ppl pay up more. How about some public humiliation?<p>eg. If Twitter user A owes money, tweet at all A's followers telling them about it ... "@AFollower Did you know @A owes @B $20?"<p><a href="http://www.spanishvida.com/2010/02/22/in-spain-debt-collectors-use-public-shaming-to-extract-payment/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spanishvida.com/2010/02/22/in-spain-debt-collecto...</a> is the story I heard that sparked this idea BTW.<p>Not that I'm saying this is a good idea and you should do it, I think you'll be shut down so quickly, I'm just pointing out ...

Haha nice! I built something similar for Twilio + FreshBooks called "Wheres My Money Man?" using clips from Family Guy: <a href="http://www.songcupid.com/wheresmymoney/" rel="nofollow">http://www.songcupid.com/wheresmymoney/</a><p>It barely works but whatever.

Cool app. You could integrate with the WePay API so that the person owed money could actually collect easily online.<p><a href="https://stage.wepay.com/developer" rel="nofollow">https://stage.wepay.com/developer</a>

I wonder how the variety of collections and consumer protection laws apply here (I know there's technically no "consumer", but I'll bet that harassment to pay up falls in there somehow…)

Looks fun. You don't need 3 forms. Keep it simple and quick.

Aside from bets, it might be a good way to get clients to pay up faster :D

Whose twitter username is "Twitter username" in the third choice?

You're probably going to get sued or shut own for harassment.
