Looks interesting but I am too paranoid to give apps access to twitter now unless they tell me up-front what they are going to do. (make me follow them? update my status? etc)

Sorry for the late reply. Actually, there's no need to ever grant glunote access to your Twitter account, it's only needed if you want to use the web interface. If you never need the web interface just follow "glu", and the system will follow you back. Then you can take notes by sending a direct message to glu, i.e. "d glu discount socks 1-800-555-SOCK". Then to retrieve your notes send another direct message with a ? and the search terms, i.e. "d glu ? discount socks" and the system will direct message back the matches.

This way you never need to give glunote access and you can still use the system.

The reason we need access is that if you access glunote through the website we need to set your account to follow glu so that we can direct message you your search results. Thanks for the feedback and we'll change the language so this is clearer.
