I really love your UI. Very nice design, easily my favorite of all those submitted. Easily 5/5.
wow!!!
lovely design! 5/5
love the idea and the concept!
go team heart!!
While the funny responses are funny, they seem like inside jokes that us ‘PEONS’ could not understand. They are cute and funny, but I don’t get it.
Thoughtful and…lovely site.
You should link into the latest #twittercrush trending topic.
I think this idea might be better as a facebook app. It seems to fit that niche a little better than twitter. The site looks very nice though. Good luck!
great look! awesome design. I just don’t see myself ever using an app like this. Maybe as an embedded facebook app.
Also, @bighearton will follow your twitter user before sending an @reply, so hopefully that notifies people. It’s not possible to DM individuals without them following @bighearton, so it’s the best notification we can do. I hope your crushes take notice!

Hey folks – the twitter user is http://twitter.com/bighearton . Apparently the Eagles of Death Meta(l) beat us to @hearton :)
I checked out this app during the rumble and (wow!) the design has greatly improved. I love the animated favicon. Everything is so simple an cute! Good work.
Sweet design! love the site, nice work!
Someone asked about what happens if someone isn’t following @hearton I had the same question, but the Twitter user @hearton doesn’t seem to have anything to do with this app.
Is there a twitter user that can be followed?
i don’t use twitter … so …i can’t use it
this fun, good job
nice design, but I can’t really appreciate its usefulness.
Very pretty site, but this was done ages ago as a facebook app.
Congrats, guys! Very polished entry. Good luck in the finals.
What’s with all of the wood behind hearton? (
_)Is the love map working? I don’t see anything on it.
Tried this out, and it found me true love! What other app can even approach that? Srsly, though — I crushed myself, I think as another user. You should probably put in some checks for pervecrushing.
If a user isn’t following @hearton, does the “…someone has a crush on you…” tweet fail silently?
I love the concept for this — very fun. I can imagine teenagers using this religiously, and parents suing you because of it. (^_^)
This is the best-looking of the apps that I’ve seen so far.
