Oh my, I noticed that this app automatically posted something to my twitter account when I voted up an idea to test it. I am sure this is going to greatly piss off many people because you're promoting something random on their feed without telling them. You're venturing into facebook territory where you're posting something on people's public stream, and _especially_ without even telling them that this is happening.
This is a massive betrayal of trust, and, in my opinion is something you should disable immediately, or atleast give people the option to post if they choose _after_ voting it up.
- bearwithclaws 17y agoThe settings could be changed thru the top link. Would you suggest that I turn it off by default?
- jdee 17y ago100% turn it off. you stand to piss a lot of people off very fast if you dont. other than that, i like the concept. reminds me of www.halfbakery.com but twitter powered. bookmarked it.
- rdrimmie 17y agoIt should absolutely be off by default. The way these things spread is one tweet that is your message, then the next tweet that says "sorry I didn't mean to post that". Just make a button or a checkbox that says "Tweet this" and lots of people will do it. The behaviour should be opt-in, just like email subscriptions.
- bearwithclaws 17y agoIt's turned off by default right now.
