Based on my experiences with spam filters, this wouldn't be too hard to automate. It should be straightforward to train a spam filter to recognize mean and/or superficial tweets.

Just realized you could actually take advantage of Twitter's badness in building a version 2. Since people are their worst selves on Twitter, you could use their tweets as an audition for the new service. If they're all snark and memes, don't let them in.

That would be a very boring v2 of Twitter though. What's life without some fun?

There's such a large audience pining for a small, homogeneous set of feature changes to twitter (edit button, ID required, pay-to-subscribe) that you could very well just go out, build it, and see how it goes.

The edit button especially. That alone would drive signups.

But if you had a classifier for snark and memes, I'm not sure Twitter 2.0 is the most effective way to employ it

That's only before noon.

@paulg I applied to YC more than month ago with a better Twitter project, I received no reply even after emailing support -
Keep building, get strong growth, keep re-applying. If you're growing fast, are being polite and persistent, then how long can they ignore you. Also, YC isn't the only accelerator. But easiest way to get in is if you can afford to say no.
