Objections
Data missing or wrong for many users
From 3 comments
Love the concept, but the Friend Wall and Follower Growth panels have no data for me. Same with the To/From @Username panels. I can send you a screenshot if you want.
LeandroLovisolo on HNNice approach, i like the look. My follower graph & data is wrong though. Is this a side project or are you fulltime?

What is the stack?
From 1 comment
As a data nerd, I am very excited by this. My one piece of feedback would be that the contrast isn't very high, which makes text a bit tiring to read, but, other than that,…

Very very nice work. I am no twitter power user, but I really like the interface. I have been thinking of making a similar dashboard for work (much like GeckoBoard) but I wanted…
raju on HNJustin mentioned the logo is by Scott Jackon (http://www.iamscotty.com/blog/) when he talked about this on techzing - I really like it. The design is a bit too much like…
swanson on HNInteresting, i'm working on a contextual twitter analytics app which is more about visualising the context behind tweets and grouping it. How different is this to Geckoboard?
