This is just the links, not all tweets. Also discussion is with all people who have seen the story in their feed instead of just the people you follow.
This needs a public-facing page for everyone's votes (wait a minute…). Let them see and interact before allowing access. Right now, nobody will use it because the splash page gives no indication of what the actual application is like or how much activity is behind the login wall.
I agree that a screenshot of some sort would be nice even if it is just generic links posted by celebrities and the such. Another interesting feature to implement if it isn't already (I don't use twitter so I can't really try this out) would be to use a similar system to digg/delicious/hackernews/reddit in showing how many people have posted a certain link (i.e. upvoted) or having the ability to sort by popularity of links
Tried logging in... Twitter said somebody already used that token. Then it loaded a page with "OK, you've denied Tweetsip access to interact with your account!"
and for long tweets, it's causing the lines to wrap oddly.
I think it makes sense to have the default page show the site in action (below a big "log in" banner). Perhaps displaying the top 100 Twitterers? http://wefollow.com/top
The large pic stuff works great now. Still getting the "too much text causes the floats to misalign" problem sometimes:

I was actually started making it a week or so before he said that. Seeing his tweet made me finish it sooner than I probably would have otherwise though.
I debated myself over this. If someone tweets a link isn't an implicit vote (similar to voting on HN). I guess I should make it auto-voted up so you can't get double points (one for tweeting and one for voting up)
Honestly, I am wary of anything that proxies credentials, and I agree with kaiuhl in that it is even less inviting due to lack of information or screenshots of whatever tweetsip might be. cf. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000953.html
I wasn't able to log in. I went to your site, clicked the "get started" button, and went to Twitter to log in.
Once I logged into Twitter no link was given to go back to your app. I then tried going back to tweetsip.com and refreshing the page, but each time when I tried to continue I was again asked to log into Twitter. I could find no way to make it work.
I'm using the Firefox alpha (Shiretoko), so it could be me. But I'd double-check the process after you've logged out of Twitter, cleared cookies and cache, etc.

Here's a list of lots of Twitters users using some of them from our service, tinyarro.ws:

Sounds like a cool idea though.
