Just Created a Simple Twitter App to Check Who You're Blocking

Just created a simple Twitter app using OAuth that allows you to check who you're blocking on Twitter (currently there's no inherent option to see this information on Twitter website). This is very basic and very preliminary - was mainly developed as an OAuth exercise for myself.

I've used the PHP twitter-async library and the code sample by @jmathai.

I would really love if someone could help me with the design :)

Looking forward to hear your feedback,
Arik

This is really useful! One thing that would make it much easier to use would be to turn the names into links, so "cnnbrk" becomes "cnnbrk", for example. That way I can just click to find out who someone is.

I'm wondering if it would also be possible to see what private tweeps you still have pending invite requests with, and who has declined your requests.

Hi David,

I will fix the names to links. As for the other feature - I don't think it's possible with current Twitter API, but I will check.

Very cool application. Is it possible to create an app that tells you who/how many folks are blocking YOU? Thanks, Will

For obvious reasons, Twitter don't share that data, so the answer is no.
