I’ve been following your site for a few months now and some of the ideas are really cool!

This is not really related to the topic, but I think virtual worlds are growing in popularity lately. An idea could be to build a more “interactive” environment to receive twitters. Even something like a Twitter messenger might do the trick.

StationRipper is actually a app the records music – users of that app can twitter what they are recording, as they record it. The twitter has the web site URL as part of it.

@Dan — Thanks for the link back. Nice site. I’d start determining the # of users that are actually referencing a particular link or domain. Because ’stationripper.com’ I think is just posting links from one username, but skewing the entire result set.

I would love some integration between iTunes/Last.FM etc and Twitter…

These are great ideas. We saw the “twitter vision” last week, told at least 10 people about it, and I spent nearly an hour on the mashup (so far).

Twitter is definitely the “hot” start up right now with all the buzz they have going.

I love idea 10 and would be surprised if they don’t launch something like this soon – the tech can’t be too far from what they already run.
Another idea I can see happening is an extension of #5 where searches for tweets similar to “anyone know how to do X in Excel” are used by a telephone IT support service who then message the tweeter something like “call xxx xxxxx for immediate help, just $2″. The challenge would be following the blog link in the tweeter profile to find contact details.
Of course as soon as that happens everyone gets tired of twitterspam and starts either blocking it or leaving the service.

Great post, it’s interesting to think of Twitter as a data stream that can be mined for useful data and exposed as a web service. I was going to flesh out an idea around a heat map site where you could enter a keyword and it would light up the cities/regions where that world was being mentioned most in the past 24 hours. i.e. you could enter “Arcade Fire” and see a flurry of activity around Oslo, Norway – the city where they are playing tonight (or would be if Winn’s voice wasn’t shot). You could also view Twitters and potentially meet up with others who are going to the concert or need tickets. It’s basically a combination of #5 mentioned about, TwitterVision, and the “Vyous” idea you posted about previously.
