Allow users to delete their favstar account [updated]

Pretty self explanatory, but to elaborate - it would be pretty amazing to have the option of deleting our favstar accounts. Please & thank you.

I am really angry that my tweets come up in Google searches via Favstar. I have never signed in to Favstar and don't want to use it. I gave it authorised access for a very short time and then revoked access. I emailed asking my name & tweets be withdrawn and did not even get courtesy of a reply. At a loss what else to do to get an account I don't want deleted

Twitter Account Delete Mess Up! [is now completed]

2012-01-24T08:09:38-08:00

PLEASE READ/CONSIDER! xoxo Before I deleted my twitter account a few months ago, I had changed my twitter account name, and THEN deleted it, so that I could keep my username if I decided to return to twitter (which I clearly did), but then after I had returned, every time I signed on to Favstar it would show all of my top tweets from BEFORE my account was deleted. It still collects the favorites and retweets that I receive today, but I have to refresh it a few times or access the page from a specific link portal. But generally, when people click on a link to my favstar, they will only see the really old tweets and not my more recent ones. Please, please, please help! It sucks that no one can see my recent tweets! Thank you! xo

Allow us to delete tweets on our "Popular" page, or add a page where we can showcase personal favs. [updated]

2011-12-28T13:49:39-08:00

Some of my favorite tweets have disappeared into the Twitterverse because they had almost enough favs to get on my "Popular" page, but not quite. In the meantime, tweets I am not that fond of stay on my "Popular" page week after week. I would love a way to be able to delete some tweets on my "Popular" page to make room for others, or even better have a static third page I could continually update, like a "My Personal Favorites" page. Thank you!

i think there should be two best tweets pages, one by popularity and one curated by the tweeter himself. Deleting is not a good way to solve this IMO

Add a Leaderboard page for people under a certain number of followers. [updated]

2011-11-28T14:40:15-08:00

Many brilliant tweets go undiscovered because the authors don't have large enough follower counts yet. By adding a low-followers leaderboard page, this would not only give these tweets a chance to be seen... but it would also help new or fresh talent gain followers by providing them some well deserved exposure. Maybe set the follower-limit to 500 or 1,000 followers... or anywhere in between. I think this would also be beneficial to Favstar in general, because many people who have low follower counts don't bother to check Favstar since they know they have no chance of ever making it there. A leaderboard page geared towards them would certainly give them a reason to become Favstar regulars... which would obviously increase Favstar's daily traffic and participation level.

Would be better if the left navigation bar seen on web, can move at the same time we are scrolling down to see more tweets. Sometimes it's annoying to go up up up up to just change the selection.

put in a pop-up confirm on the Tweet of the Day as there is with unfollow [updated]

2011-11-16T06:50:56-08:00

I have accidentally given out a Tweet of the Day by fumble-fingering, and there is no way to undo it. A confirm pop-up (as with an accidental hit of unfollow) would allow me to back out gracefully.

Monetize through ads, not paid user features [updated]

2011-10-20T08:29:59-07:00

The "Bonus Features" should not be charged to the users. You're already getting something from us - a data mining goldmine. Why not monetize through ads (which people *do* click) instead of asking me for $60/year for a summary of information my friends and I gave you? I realize the need to monetize, but asking me for that much cash for data my friends and I gave you is absurd.

JLN said:

...and I won't pay $60/year for "bonus features." I suspect most users would agree.

"Delete button" for tweets w/typo? [updated]

2011-10-19T13:20:20-07:00

Could Favstar possibly create a "Delete Button" for tweets that have a typo, but unfortunately has already been kindly starred? Even after its been deleted from Twitter, if it has one star, it'll be there to torment you until it gets flushed out. I can't help but agonize over the mistake and embarrassment when this happens. And I've noticed that other people have said the same thing as well. A delete button would especially be useful moments after you have posted, in order to correct the mistake and re-tweet. Please Favstar, create a "Delete Button". Thanks

sync favstar list to Twitter [updated]

2011-10-17T10:51:17-07:00

I create and manage regular lists on twitter.com and favstar list on Favstar.fm. As tastes change over time, it would be nice to be able to truly sync one's favstar and Twitter lists in such a way that people would be removed if they do not appear on one or the other platforms. That way we could manage our Favstar lists in one place.

tmhaines said:

The way this works currently (from the Favstar List Members page) is that it does a union of the list on Favstar and the list on Twitter. So if a user is on one of the lists, they will be added to the other list if they're not already.

Perhaps it would be useful to have an option that users that are only on one list get removed from the list. This would perhaps need a confirm dialog that tells you who's going to be removed from the list before it happens.

Thoughts?

Add a method to categorise my own favourites [updated]

2011-10-15T11:30:36-07:00

@Twitter_Tips suggested I look into your capabilities. I’ve been begging for some way to “file” favorites. Let’s face it, a list of your 593 favorite tweets is worthless. I’d like to be able to create some sort of simple minded file system, say, one folder deep, maybe even limited to, say, 10 folders. Then I could sort quotes from business sites, recommendations, humor, etc. As is the favorites function looks much more useful than it is. Certainly this is not your problem or your fault, but if there is anything you can do to help with this area of Twitter, or even lean on the Twitter folks to do something, it would be very helpful.
