I wish there was a text only social network - I think it would reduce the influence of memes. HN is kind of like that, though I guess you really just need a tightly curated community with a good culture that wants to be good (since reddit comments still are pretty low quality in most cases).
Text only twitter would be interesting since you can curate your own slice of the community pretty easily, as a bonus it'd be fast.
