Thanks for the hunt, Ryan! I built this as a scratch-my-own-itch tool -- I liked the core functionality of BioIsChanged but wanted something a little more tailored to my use case. A lot of my friends + colleagues update what they're doing on Twitter way more often than Facebook or LinkedIn, so it's a great way to keep track of new jobs and big moves that people undertake. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has about the service :)

@justinmduke How does this work? is there a twitter api endpoint that shows all user changes or do you store user bio info on your own db?
Justin Duke
@topaz_tee The latter!

I subscribed to Spoonbill a few weeks ago and enjoy the weekly digest of my Twitter friends' bio changes. It's interesting to see how people change the way they describe themselves. It's also a particularly handy tool for journalists. Bio Is Changed is a similar service that's been around a while but I prefer Spoonbill's design.

@rrhoover Bio is Changed actually shut down. Good to have a replacement!

Pros:

Helps to make sure you don't miss when friends change jobs or locations

Cons:

Needs a "include Hunter Walk updates? Yes/No" filter. Seriously dude, chill on the profile edits ;)
