Right now, Fritter supports importing subscriptions from an existing (public) Twitter account, using the Import/Export button on the Subscriptions tab. You can also import from a previous export of data from Fritter.

If you have a text file containing subscriptions, you might be able to import it by converting it to this format, and putting it into a JSON file:

{
    "subscriptions": [
        {
            "id": "the-twitter-user-id-12345",
            "screen_name": "username",
            "name": "Display Name",
            "verified": 1
        }
    ]
}

The minimum amount of correct data only needs to be the id field - the other fields can be anything, and once imported, a refresh will fetch the correct profile data.
