Using Twilio to get around the verification may be obvious if you are a HN reader, but most people have no idea what Twilio is. Phone verification is certainly not a bulletproof solution, but I have to feel it would help a lot.
And it doesn't have to stop at phone, either. You could multiple levels of verification, like Airbnb. Then as a user you could further filter how strict you want your tweet exposure to be.
