Vijay--great app suggestion! Ken, that's a legit concern, but I'm thinking it would be hard to for your competitors to market directly to your list of followers. I suppose if your list were small (say under 200), someone could go through all the profiles and see if they could find contact information, such as an email, for each follower...but then if they emailed these people, they'd be violating the CAN-SPAM act (not that this would stop them). But it's a lot of trouble to go through (in other words, your competitors would be better off focusing their marketing efforts elsewhere. And if you have a huge follow list, it would be a huge time suck for your competitors to comb through the all the profiles). Those are my thoughts, but I welcome other insight!
