So, here’s the deal.

To get this cheery Christmas spirit spread the internets, we need your help.

Write something nice to somebody and in return, you will get something nice back.

Sounds good? Great. Let’s make this the nicest website ever.

Say something nice and be forced to login with Twitter.

Nice!

It told me I'm not nice because I don't use Twitter.

Same.

I also didn't see a clear sign in button, or understand from the description why I needed to sign in or what functionality that was going to add.

I also didn't see a way to direct the nice thing I was writing to a person.

Also, why ask for post permissions on twitter if you promise to never do that? :) Otherwise, a nice idea.

We ask for twitter so that people don't write everything that is in their mind (dumb stuff, test messages or insulting text). By signing in with a service like twitter we can at least try to reduce the number of such messages.

We are a website like any other out there that asks for permissions to your account. It's up to you if you trust us or not.
