Mining interesting data about your name
- trebor 13y agoWish I could just enter a name. I don't use my social media logins to sign in to other sites any longer.
- lazy_nerd 13y agoWe wanted to prevent automated bots from sending too many queries at once - that's why we kept the social login. If you are still concerned, you could authenticate with a fake Twitter or FB account or revoke the permissions after trying it out.
- netrus 13y agoWo don't you just use a captcha?
- lazy_nerd 13y agoyeah, I wonder why we didn't think of that option. We will definitely switch to that.
- officemonkey 13y agoMake sure to resubmit with [FIXED] so I can give it a shot.

- lazy_nerd 13y agoNope, the social login is just to prevent too many queries. We are planning to switch to Captcha in a day or two instead of social login.
- Kerrick 13y agoIf it's just to prevent too many queries, why does it require such powerful permissions for my Twitter account? - See who you follow, and follow new people. - Update your profile. - Post Tweets for you.
- HNJohnC 13y agoThat seems to me to be a terrible and Byzantine solution to a very easily resolved problem. So easily resolved in fact that I question whether this is really the reason why or are you harvesting data for some other purpose? I too never use my facebook or twitter logins for anything unless it's absolutely critical. It sounds like it could be fun otherwise.
- richardwhiuk 13y agoIf only there was some other way to implement rate limiting....
- anExcitedBeast 13y agoSame. This is just silly.
- logjam 13y agoNo, c'mon, I won't login with twitter or facebook.
- linux_devil 13y agogood work !
- jgmmo 13y agoI don't know you, I don't trust you, and I won't be giving you my social login. Should've just had it let us enter our names with a simple captcha.
- aaronbasssett 13y agoMade by beevolve a company who: > Monitor your brand mentions, schedule and launch social media posts and measure resulting sales and engagement for those posts - all in one easy-to-use platform. Designed for SMBs. Yeah,sure. Why don't I just give you access to my social networking accounts. That sounds like a fantastic idea…
- lazy_nerd 13y agoWe will be switching to captcha in a day or so - if you want to give it a try after that.
- davewasmer 13y agoWhy does the app need permission to post tweets for me? Not a chance, sorry.
