I'm sure Twitter has already written this on the whiteboard at some point. I was hoping someone in the know would tell me why they rejected it. HN is full of people in the know. And of course I don't mind you calling me an armchair foolosopher with loads of brilliant ideas, because who isn't on HN?, at least privately. As an alternative, I suggest Twitter talk to Facebook about their artificially intelligent driven advertisement engine, because it's very impressive. I've trained it with the like button and group sign-ups to the point where sometimes the ads that come out of left field really grab my attention. They are telling me about things I didn't know I'd like. Curiously, I've been on Google longer, always signed in to gmail and YouTube, but their ads to me are total junk. I think Twitter is a unique cultural phenomenon that performs very valuable service. It's almost like a necessary public utility at this point. I'd hate to see it go away. HN is very valuable to me as well - I'd pay for it. Reddit added the "gilding" feature to give someone gold and pay for server time. Twitter needs to get creative. I'm rooting for them.
