When you want to submit to BetaList you have to Login with Twitter, and here's the list of permissions that they ask for:
This application will be able to:
- See Tweets from your timeline (including protected Tweets) as well as your Lists and collections.
- See your Twitter profile information and account settings.
- See accounts you follow, mute, and block.
- Follow and unfollow accounts for you.
- Update your profile and account settings.
- Post and delete Tweets for you, and engage with Tweets posted by others (Like, un-Like, or reply to a Tweet, Retweet, etc.) for you.
- Create, manage, and delete Lists and collections for you.
- Mute, block, and report accounts for you.
See your email address.
Basically it feels like they've asked for any possible permission in the list.
Does anyone else here feel that this is way too much to ask?
If you have submitted, did you just allow all that?
I had same thoughts. In the end didn't login with personal twitter account, but with product tw acc.
Although, later on, when you're featured they will suggest you to start a conversation from personal account, not the product, because it will feel warm and personal blah blah... Didn't do it. For some reason they want it and it's not clear to me why.
Guess I will do that, thanks
Any successes/failures from using BetaList? Any issues with these permissions granted? It does seem like too much.
In a recent IH newsletter, it states that Product Hunt and BetaList are the top 2 product launch platforms. I've already posted my SaaS product on Product Hunt. It did get some attention, but didn't wildly transform anything. It seemed like a lot of bots.
It did generate a little traffic, nothing significant.
But I know there's a big variance between different products, so I don't think my personal experience means anything
Way to much.
Why do they need to post and delete Tweets for you??
