I think you've stumbled onto something genuinely interesting: twitter's users are the kind of verbose early adopter that write reviews, and you're using an interface they're already familiar with. Furthermore, if I understand twitter correctly (not a user), you've got a viral spread mechanism built in, in that all followers of twitterate users will see the @rating and wonder what it means (though it would help you if the tag was @twitterate). If you're interested in pursuing that, you should rewrite twitterate.com as a destination site for people looking for ratings. It'll be depressingly bad now, but it will expose what you need to do to make it work. Or you could leave it as the entertaining toy it is. Good work in any case!
