I like the concept. But I found myself thinking "who that I follow is prominent enough to be listed". I'd love to say "this is my Twitter account, tell me who of the people I follow is listed on your service". Note that you shouldn't need to make me link my Twitter account or give you any permissions to do that; the list of people I follow is available to anyone with a Twitter account.

Yep, we do need to improve our onboarding flow a bit. We plan to include that Twitter followers list integration, and also suggest you people based on your interests. Thanks for the feedback.
