    Hey Mark - awesome progress!

    Tyler kicked it into overdrive and pushed the concept past where I was stuck (he's much more familiar with php for building the early functioning version of the code).

    It's an interesting angle to attempt...I *think* it's going to be hard to get people to 'log into twitter' just so they can be targeted for ads...you might need to come up with some other benefit/reason to get them to log in (and make the targeting of ads a nice side benefit to that action)...the key here is also going to be intelligent semantic processing of their feeds/data in real-time (that's a great space with a ton of action right now, but also a VERY hard nut to crack, it will be interesting to see how leveraging Zemanta works for you on this)...

    Overall I think you've got a good start and gives people something to see/play with for sure...will be watching to see where you take it from here :-)

    Agreed, there needs to be more of a game or user bonus for opting in. That's my primary concern at the moment, thanks for the rapid review and feedback sir!
