Would be fun to see what I talk about the most.<br><br>I agree that there would be some resistance to ads on Twitter. I think one option may be to offer an ad supported and subscription version that removes the ads. That way, those of use who really enjoy Twitter as it is and see the value in it, would be able to pay a little to keep it that way. I would also like see what my entire tag cloud look like.

Unless they're truly targeted to my interests--but how often does advertising really work that well? HI Matt,

Some good food for thought here. I really like the idea of creating tweet clouds. I may have to pull some of my tweets into Wordle and see what pops up.

I hadn't even thought of that. something like <a href="http://Superbowl.twitter.com" rel="nofollow">Superbowl.twitter.com</a> would make a great space to brand but to also provide a lot of good functionality.

One variation that I would add to your headliners would be to sell a branded site similar to <a href="http://election.twitter.com" rel="nofollow">election.twitter.com</a> for a big brand or event. For example, how much traction would you the NFL get out of Superbowl.twitter.com? Matt, you have some new and unique ideas that haven't been discussed before.
