Dear HN community, I made an app to satisfy a personal need concerning Twitter. I found it was convenient to upload a bunch of text containing twitter IDs (@accounts) rather than add them manually.<p>It's pretty handy on Follow Friday to follow recommended friends of friends.<p>So, to solve this simple problem I made a simple app.<p>I don't know if many of you have a Twitter account but, I would definitly love to have your feedback about this project HN community.<p>ps. It uses OpenAuth for authentication, no worries for your data.<p>Edit: You may encounter failwhales... Keep retrying.

It does what it says on the tin, and does it well.<p>I would have liked an extra step after submitting my @users—a list of the users with their full name, their twitter icon, and whether or not they were already following me. This would give me a chance to confirm my choices and correct any mistakes.<p>Also when I submit a garbage ID like @cyvubinjsoidjajwld I am told “You are already following these Tweeps.” rather than that they don’t exist.<p>Good job :)
I'd only suggest that your introductory text does a better job of explaining what the app actually does. I saw the website before I saw your description -- it obviously solves a problem, but I wasn't sure what the problem was until I read your description here.
