How's your Twitter Karma?

Twitter Karma
Some people use Twitter like a broadcast medium. The encourage people to "follow" their updates, but don't follow back, which turns Twitter into a tool for one way communication. Others view Twitter as a tool for dialog, and every time they receive a notice that a new user is following them, they follow right back. Some people have gone so far as to set up auto-follow scripts.

If you still do your following by hand, you might find that there are plenty of people you follow who don't follow you, and vice versa. But there's no easy way to figure out who falls into which category on Twitter. And that's where Twitter Karma comes in. It's a third party tool that analyzes your Twitter account and brings up a list of users you follow, users who follow you, and makes it easy to see whether you have a reciprocal or one way relationship with each.

You'll need to give Twitter Karma your username and password to let it do its stuff. But the same can be said for most Twitter desktop applications, so you're always taking a leap of faith when you decide to trust anybody that's not Twitter with your login information.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
