Tameline — Your Twitter, Organized
Tameline organizes your Twitter feed by giving everybody only one row. Loud users no longer crowd out quiet users. Here's an example.

Tameline is a web-based Twitter app, designed to look great in both mobile and desktop, so it should be great on Androids and iOS.

I've found that using Tameline has has multiplied my Twitter usage 100x. Now I interact a lot more with the people I follow, and it even has filled the hole left by Google Reader closing down.

Wow. That's a very effective UI idea! I've had problems with getting a more "even" sample out of Twitter for a while now.

Neat! Some suggestions:

1) The OAuth scopes are too broad, i should be able to choose to not allow write access - i.e. disable following new and composing tweets (and especially updating profile).

2) Upon signing out i see an error, "We're sorry, but something went wrong."

@lawrencium thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the write access is for easy favoriting, but I can tell that that's intimidating. I'll also look into the error, thanks.

Interesting idea, but that screenshot you linked to above? Put it on the site itself.
