nice idea! but...

why do you need to ask for permission to:

- publish tweets

- update my profile

?

A sentence saying "we'll not publish anything" is not enough. Better dont ask for permission in the twitter API or explain why do you need it.

Probably because Twitter permissions granularity is very sparse. Last time I checked it was just read the whole account or read/write the whole account.

Thus, to create private lists on your account they need the permission to write.
