MacroStation: DIY Twitter-Clientby
http://www.untitledstartup.com/backstage/products/show/macrostation-diy-twitterclient
Behold: Twitter enhancements can be broken down into 5 categories:
* Appearance of the stream (Excel-ent Tweets, Threadhash, list managers, Read Later, monitoring dashboards, ...)
* What goes in as user tweets (TweetGrader, CoTweet, ...)
* How the content goes out (Most Important Tweet, TweetTime, A/B, ...)
* Analytics on the content (Riot Starter, Contest marketing helper, Good Tweets, ...)
* Automation (Biz Card Zen, TweetJacker, Clean My Stream, ...)
Very few of these ideas exclude the others, and many would work quite well together.
MacroStation would allow the user to turn on as many plug-ins as they have the need for:
* Select the content views fitting your reading patterns. Save each view under it's own tab.
* Control who can tweet, when tweets go out, and where tweets come from by turning on each micro-function.
* Select an analytics package based on the metrics you care about.
* Activate automated processing according to your needs.
Macro Station would be THE twitter client for power users, with an open API allowing developers to create new customizations.
Each micro-enhancement could have a low, one-time cost, purchased directly from within the main app. Think of it as the App Store for Twitter enhancements and plugins. Or the Salesforce of Twitter apps. Developers could set their own prices and get kickbacks from plugin sales.
I could see it as a desktop or web app, but doing it as a web app would likely allow a plug in architecture available to a lot more developers.

http://www.untitledstartup.com/backstage/products/show/macrostation-diy-twitterclient Most twitter-based US product ideas are smart, but micro-focused. They should be built on top of a master client with an in-app plugin shop!
When this many great ideas get together, what they most need is a platform. Micro-enhancements hand selected by power users can be built together to create a Macro view, customized to each user's needs.Behold: Twitter enhancements can be broken down into 5 categories:
