Products that do what Weekend Project - FollowTrial does
http://www.followtrial.com Over the past couple of weeks I've been working on a little Twitter app. FollowTrial takes the hassle of tasting what Twitter users have to offer. Every few months I was going thru my following list and culling dead weight, but it was a painful and laborious process. So I came up with idea for FollowTrial. On FollowTrial you follow a twitter user for a trial period, 7 to 30 days, close to the end of the trial period, you get a reminder that your trial is coming to an end, with a instructions how to keep following the user, or FollowTrial will automatically unfollow…

Ever wanted to track who unfollowed you last month? Or who followed your competitor last month? Or how your social graph is growing over time? SocialGrapple does this. I've been working on SocialGrapple for a few months (since stepping down from imoveyou.com, YC2010S), this week I got the core product to the point where I'm proud of it so I want to show it off: http://socialgrapple.com/ I wrote up a blog post with some screenshots that will get you an idea of what SocialGrapple looks like: "SocialGrapple snapshot: @limedaring's social graph growth after her HackerNews publicity"…

Xtreeks: Tweet to track a habit. Why? It's much more motivating to share progress with others on the same journey, whether it's learning math, building in public, lifting weights, running, losing weight, learning a language, doing a side project, etc. Here's what my habit page looks like: https://xtreeks.com/gabemays (I'll be adding my other habits soon) Longer version - Here's a confession: This is a 10+ year obsession that my wife teases me about. I've been using various habit tracking tools for over a decade and have had multiple 1,000 day streaks. It started with I when a…

So I just did my semi-annual "log in to Twitter to see if it's any good yet", and found that in my absence I had followed a few thousand new spam accounts. Sweet. That explains why they emailed me and forced me to change my password last year. Being Awesome, Twitter doesn't have any way to simply toss out all your followers and start from scratch. And none of the spammy apps claiming to do so actually will (even seemingly after charging you money to try). So instead, I just pulled open the Dev console and did this:…

@glasner and I shipped a product today, http://www.tweetgrabber.com, that allows anyone with an Instapaper account to receive full-length articles that were favorited by anyone with a public Twitter account. You can now essentially crowdsource your Instapaper reading to those you trust by following their favorites. We use Twitter's streaming API to send articles straight to your Instapaper. You can follow your own favorites (single player mode) or follow anyone else's (multiplayer mode), forming a graph of curated real-time news.
