Adblock is the only extension installed, so I don't know why the checkbox is invisible to me. I'll assume it's a bug - but figured I'll call it out here in case people signup and then wonder why Timekiwi made an 'authorised' tweet advertising their services.
Maybe early adopters were willing to suffer through more in the olden days or still are?
It seems like a stupid way to go about creating hype, loyalty, and traction for your start-up.
I think this should be built into the Facebook Platform TOS somehow. Sites that disingenuously post stuff after signup without indicating so give a bad name to Facebook Platform as an authentication device.
I agree with fookyong, that the request to post things on my behalf is an immediate yellow flag for any application except for a Twitter client.
B. Oh, I wish I had seen and unchecked the box, I was surprised that a tweet got sent out.
Which way do you think the vote would go if you asked people their preferred scenario?
How about the 4 million domestic and the 1 million expat people who are New Zealanders and who already call ourselves Kiwis?
To us this is like saying "latest Aussies" or "Latest Texans" or "latest Russians". It sounds stupid and is borderline offensive.
Please call yourself something else.
When the launch was successful we started building the proper version, with usernames, curation (hiding of posts) and proper OAuth.
Previous launch post is here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3109779
most of the positive feedback I see is from people saying it has a nice UI.
We also collected a lot of emails from people interested in a paid version with more features.
is that broken or intentional? username citricsquid.
It was meant that with time, this will grow as new posts will flock in.
As for the being 'just like loading the FB page', the kiwi gets its full glow when many services are connected at the same time.
