The author's twitter account only has 160 some tweets but more than 19000 followers, a lot of which look like fake accounts...building the rails app is a good use of time but it seems it wasn't actually used (who would need to automates 100 tweets)?

"Musicians" and "Bands" are a bad example for this. A band obviously has more than one musician. But a musician may belong to more than one band. And also a musician may be a different kind of musician in each of his or her band...lead singer in one band, guitarist in the other, etc.
Also if this is a many-to-many relationship, it gives you the flexibility (in the joining table) to define when a musician was part of the band and when he/she left and other such metadata that might be useful in a band app
The site's tagline is "Tweet faster than you type!" but the associated twitter account (@emph_it) says "Tweet faster than you read!"
But maybe Twitter needs fewer people tweeting faster than they can type, and people probably should not be tweeting faster than they can read...?
Interested in the history of the project...was it simply on SVN all this time? Or were there other issues that held up its migration onto Github?
