Just like Google gives the most relevant web pages to your search, I would like similar relevant tweets as well unlike some other search engines which tend to deviate from what I searched while presenting the matching web pages. 2) Security is a different concern and frankly I haven't pointed that out on this post but thanks for bringing up the topic. What I meant to impose was that the best tweets get the most tweetbacks or re-tweets so why not use that parameter? 3) Yup that's there but how about adding Adsense and Adwords to it? @pete: Indexing a webpage by Google take around 2-3 days, so I suppose they have to make a new system. @joshua: Thank you for teaching me english. And now that everyone can see your comment, I hope you can sleep tonight. @IBBoard:

"Some amount of stress must be given on re-tweets and Tweetbacks. After all, the best and the brightest get that." The best and the brightest are probably more concerned with good writing, and don't care at all about 're-tweets'. Also, it's 'those' for plurals, usually.

Maybe they're posting snippets of poetry. Relevance is relative ;) 2) Sounds like normal "page rank" and linking on Google. I think people have already been trying to exploit it (I've got an empty twitter account apart from a "bagsie my name" post and I still got half-a-dozen Russians trying to follow me in the first week) 3) Isn't it already here? The whole reason companies are using Twitter is advertising to the "cool" crowd. Also, see point 2 above. 4) It looks like they already are: http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&um=1&q=site:twitpic.com&sa=N&start=20&ndsp=20 6) Sounds like a mess waiting to happen with things being re-tweeted when they don't need to be just because someone has an easy link to click (or automated and abused by spammers) 8) How SEO-friendly can 140 characters be? The closest you could get with a URL would be to have the ID followed by the full tweet, which would mean you don't even have to read the tweet, just the URL. Going through that list:
