This seems like an interesting idea/solution to one of Internet's issues.
The challenge however is how do you persuade enough people to start using it? And then the more people use it the more important it becomes and people just won't stop using it.
Facebook is a typical example of how important is to have people adopt a technology. Prior to Facebook was MySpace, yet the former managed to impose and finally replaced the latter because more and more people started using Facebook. With Twitter it's pretty much the same adoption process. Because most people into micro-blogging use it, it is now virtually impossible to come up with another micro-blogging platform that can replace Twitter. And the conversation could go on forever with countless examples.
I'm sure there are so many great ideas out there that get wasted just because people won't start adopting them.
