1 - not sure about that. i know it's not a problem, but there may be a need. it might only target the younger end of the twitter demographic. i think the proof is in how feverishly people customized myspace, and added widgets to their FB back in its earlier incarnations. even LJ - you mostly read it through your friends page (e.g. your own theme), yet you still themed it to show off to whoever visited your profile. 2 - interesting. did anything come of you getting your ideas off your chest? :) 4 - agreed. it's probably a hobby or in the best case a one hit wonder. 5 - i think something really customized to the problem could be successful. everyone is forced to shoehorn social networks or blogs (e.g. CMSs) into the solution. i really picture something that's fundamentally different, while incorporating elements of each.
