"A place to rate & follow Twitter users"

You can @reply us to submit a rating if you'd like. Here's what you can do ... (tweet what's in between the quotes)

To rate someone you like:
"@chirpio @techstartups +" or "@chirpio @techstartups good"

To rate someone you hate:
"@chirpio @techstartups -" or "@chirpio @techstartups bad"

To flag someone as a spammer:
"@chirpio @techstartups spam"

To rate more than one user just list them out:
"@chirpio @techstartups @techcrunch @aplusk good"

This is because Twitter didn't resize your uploaded profile pictures correctly at some point. To fix this, try reuploading your image on Twitter and give it a day or two for our site to update.

You can only rate someone you follow (friend).

NO, Chirpio uses your Twitter credentials. If you have a Twitter account, you can start using Chirpio right away.

Chirpio retrieves your account information securly through OAUTH, we cannot see nor do we store your account password. For more information, see this page from Twitter http://apiwiki.twitter.com/OAuth-FAQ

We have to do it this way in order to cut down on API traffic to Twitter. If that doesn't make sense it just means we have to check Twitter if you follow each of those users and they don't let us do it too frequently. So instead we still give you the ability to follow new users and it doesn't do anything if you already follow them.
