The Nudge List

Now when you login via twitter you can go to the nudge list and see all the people you follow.

The Nudge List lets you tell the folks you follow, the why's behind why you follow them. In return for giving them the why's you nudge them (which sends a tweet to them to return the favor). The Nudge List gives you the opportunity to fill in some blanks on folks you're already following, and spur more whys for why they follow you in return.

Along with the NudgeList we're also working on an internet-explorer plugin, so we'll have our browsers covered.

We all want more why's. Everyone on twitter wants the answer to one simple question- why are you following me? So why not find out?

SourceCow answers the biggest question we've all asked ourselves- why is that person following me?_There are just 2 easy steps you need to make to start using SourceCow.

1. Install the browser plugin - Firefox or Chrome (experimental)


2. Go follow people on twitter and collect some whys!

We've developed a Firefox & Chrome plugin, which "detects" when you follow someone on twitter pops up a "why" panel.

Later when you visit the SourceCow website and login with your twitter id (oAuth) you'll be able to see everyone's general public follow activity, your friends follow activity and your own follow activity. The more people that use SourceCow the better- we all get more whys behind why we follow the people we do.

Why SourceCow?

How long have we all wondered -why is this person following me? In the world of twitter this question is asked a gazillion times a day. There are millions of people that want an answer to that question. SourceCow is going to find out why people follow you, how they found you and what they expect to get out of following you.

Finding out why people follow you is good, finding out who your friends follow and why is useful too. There's no bad side of the coin here, more understanding leads to a better experience- take our hoof... heh, and let us guide you to some whys!
