Another approach might be to create a service that helps startups open their books to become financially transparent. With Amazon FPS, not only could you expose sales data in real time but you could split the revenues among individual stake

I wonder how they deal with spam. Twitter doesn't even require email verification. Someone could create a bunch of twitter accounts, connect them, and shotgun URLs by script.
