Great idea, but sending me 11 direct messages right after I start following you is not very cool. Makes me reluctant to trust the service...

"Howdy. Thanks for trying me out. Take a look at http://bit.ly/laterr to use me more effectively. Thanks."

The DMs keep pouring in, and I'm unable to unfollow for some reason :(

this -> http://status.twitter.com/post/117482837 caused the bug last night.

Lesson learned : Never use an API blindly without adding your own checks to it.

Thanks.

Nothing personal, but I think there's a lot of trust involved in things like reminders, calendars, to-do lists, etc. Having a bad experience like this with my first try makes it much less likely that I'll give it another go.
