Weekend Project - FollowTrial

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…

In plain words

FollowTrial is a Twitter management tool that lets users follow accounts on a trial basis for 7 to 30 days. Near the end of the trial period, users receive a reminder to decide whether to keep following or let the app automatically unfollow. It streamlines the process of evaluating Twitter accounts and maintaining a curated following list without manually reviewing and removing inactive or uninteresting users.
