Today we launched TwitOrFit. We developed this in partnership with the lovely people over at huddle.net, the full story of how it got started you can read over on the twitorfit blog.
What does it do?
You vote for people, are they a Twit or are they Fit? you have to be a registered twitter user and have a profile picture, you register and start voting on other twitter users, but by registering to vote you also must submit yourself to be voted upon, bit of a double edged sword.
Badge
You can also put a badge on your own website/blog showing your current rating (I really hope mine stays above 4!) – and at last count a DOG was the top of the leaderboard (how random is that).
A big thanks to everyone involved in development especially @stut and @dtsn who have worked non-stop to get this ready for today. Also a big thanks to everyone who signed up for the BETA.

Why does a pop-up keep asking me for a TwitterAPI username/password?
I’m assuming it’s not the same thing as the “Auth To Vote” in-page mechanism.
