Show HN: Grim Tweeper, easy way to clean up Twitter 'follow' lists

Seems like all it does is iterate through my Twitter followers and ask me if I want to unfollow each one. I was a little disappointed, I was hoping it would tell me which ones never post anything or something slightly more useful.

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."

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.

Neat application - keep up the good work. A couple points of improvement are 1) after being redirected to the site, I couldn't really go back to where I came from (HN, in this case), 2) not to be overtly meticulous but I was wondering why the buttons are pushed around 2px down on hover (tested in Firefox 4 on OSX 10.6), and 3) the comfy AJAX-y feel could be there if the box was a static size beforehand, when latency increases client side, the kill/keep buttons are really in a funny position. Overall this is definitely something to use again - cleaning up lists on Twitter seems to be egregious (and I'd imagine without the API rate limiting it'd be more than 1 person/screen :-P).

You might want to handle this exception. <a href="http://d.pr/UZOm" rel="nofollow">http://d.pr/UZOm</a> It sucks that Twitter's 'Over capacity' responses are being sent in HTML, rather than as an API response.

I like this - a lot.<p>Please give me the option to see a long list containing all of the people that I follow.<p>Showing me the users follow to followers ratio as a percentage would be useful data. If I could sort the long list based on this number, it would be even better.<p>I'm not sure about the current Twitter TOS, but having the option to bulk unfollow with a checkbox would make things fast and friendly.

Admittedly, I didn't log in and actually try your site but from the looks of the landing page, why couldn't I just march down my timeline and essentially do the same thing? Where's the added value? Also, I can't see ever paying to use this. Sorry if I sound harsh...

I like it. Couple of nit-picky points.<p>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.<p>2) No way to log out (that I could find anyway).

cool, now a tool to clean up my followers would be awesome. i believe 75percent of my followers are just parasitic twitter accounts. a way to get rid of them would be awesome

damn, got rate limited just as I was picking up steam in chopping off heads

First Twitter link at the bottom, is misspelt,
