This is an old post, and I'm sure HN will take down the site, since my app engine quota levels are way lower than they used to be. Just to fill you in, I've gone to other projects and haven't had time to keep thathigh up to date.
I had some pretty notable twitter followers, including lindsay lohan, snoop dog, bill maher, doug benson, sarah silverman, and a few others. Still hanging in there at 12k followers, and I absolutely must give a shout out to CrowdBooster (I used them a lot to get so many followers).
At the peak, the site was paying my rent in SF. It doesn't really make any money anymore since I've neglected it.
i found their tweet scheduling to be dead accurate, and it was really helpful since most of the most valuable tweets would've happened on the east coast in the morning (or late at night) when I am asleep in CA.
because I abandoned it. i began working on other things, and it slid into the background, and eventually just sorta coasted.
as a media property it's still pretty well known and has decent traffic. if i needed to go back to it full time to make money, it would be totally possible to respark the site. the twitter account helps a lot with that.
