twiddit.com Twitter sorted with a ranking algorithm. For people that don't read everything in the stream, the good stuff gets voted up and hangs out at the top, the bad stuff gets voted down and falls faster. Twitter search actually kind of works this way. If you search a popular term, things with many RT's are always at the top. The whole site could be that way. You could also use the in_reply_to ids to make a Reddit-style comment tree. (Even #newtwitter doesn't show conversations well.) Thinking about it now, it's Reddit with a 140 char limit, except you don't have the chicken-and-egg problem, since you're using the firehose to pre-populate with content. Let me know if you want to do this. It may be our next pivot if our current [shameless plug coming] startup, Heyo (http://heyo.com http://heyo.com, coming soon) doesn't work.
