Wait, when someone signs up, you silently have their Twitter account follow your Twitter account? That's pretty egregious in my book and would merit an instant account deletion.
By logging in with or connecting my Twitter account to any service, I want some of the value I've put into curating my Twitter account to carry over to my new account on your website/app/whatever (as Oink appears to be doing here).
I NEVER want you to go back and mess with my Twitter experience. It's a violation of the implied trust I'm giving you by creating an account in the first place.
What's wrong with giving people an option to follow you on Twitter? A simple checkbox when registering would suffice. Sure, your follower count won't be as big, but it's also the only ethical option of the two, in my book.
PS. I went to your website and clicked on "What is eggtweeter?" on the homepage. The resulting page left me utterly confused about what you do. It seems like a list of what the site can do, but not what it actually does. Then I went to your FAQ and the first question immediately and succinctly explained it. You should think about moving that description to the about page, or even better yet, the home page (right now, neither page has the words "scheduled tweets" anywhere).
