I would like to be able to use twitter as a trusted source of information about current events, but twitter search invariably throws me into a cesspool. I would like emergent networks of certifiable trust. I don’t trust the bluecheck, we need my own sacraments.
to do well and fast enough is a nice algorithmic challenge, so there may be a decent moat for any takers

I think the biggest challenge is product/ux, given that page rank for followees is not far off from what the twitter feed is today. The more I think about it, the less sure I am of how it's different. Maybe the problem is that the feed is topic-indiscriminate, by which I mean...

it's impossible to zoom into a particular corner of twitter defined by a subset of your followees (and theirs) that you trust on a specific topic. When you come for info on X, you're getting everyone on X, even though you only trust a portion of your followees on X.
