After verifying with my twitter account, here's what I am seeing on twitter

"Authorize Geeklist Inc to use your account? This application will be able to: Read Tweets from your timeline. See who you follow, and follow new people. Update your profile. Post Tweets for you."

Excuse me? Update my profile? Post tweets FOR ME? Noooo way, thanks

Not to forget "Follow new people". Do they have an explanation anywhere for needing all these permissions?

clu32• 15 years ago

Yeah, that one's creepy too

We have pretty high profile geeks on our site, none required much explanation, the site is pretty simple, the article above kinda goes over what the site does as well. We are still in private beta, part of our communication tools include using Geeklist like a twitter client, hence the need for additional access. We don't automatically tweet for you, we are devs too, we hate that shit. Anyway, we have some good people already, like:

Over 14k engineers. If you feel hesitant about the whole twitter thing, wait until we have other options.

Is there any other option for signing up?

I don't use Twitter and don't intend to.

For now, only twitter, after private beta we'll have uid/pwd, linkedin, github and facebook connect.
