Actually, there was already something like this called Dwigger. They went under a while ago.

This still looks cool though. :) (The site/interface of it. Idea might not be the thing that you think rocks right now, but who knows-It might be like Twitter and go sky high in the upcoming future.)

I actually think digging tweets is exactly what Twitter needs for a few reasons which I've stated over on the Twitter Development Newsgroup but I'll repost here.
1) Being able to get a feed of the most popular tweets on Twitter at any given time. This could perhaps compliment trending topics too.
2) A feed of what tweets my friends are liking at the moment, filtering out some of the noise.
2,a) This also exposes me to other people who my friends may follow and I would be interested in.
3) If I want to get feedback on something (be I an individual, charity, or business) I can do so easily by asking my followers to like (digg) a tweet if they agree with it. Good for viral marketing too.
4) Reduce the duplicate retweeting I, and I expect everyone else, gets in their timeline. Generally you follow groups of people with similar interests so retweeting of the same tweet is common. This feature would allow your friends to digg tweets meaning duplication is only in the digging and not pushed up into your main feed. Not that this would or should kill retweeting, but it may just minimize the need for it.
Also digging has less of a barrier than retweeting so would attract more of a response. Nobody likes a retweet-manic!
Now whether this can work as a third party add-on/website I'm not convinced. I think without it being a core feature like faving a tweet is now, it will be hard for real benefit to filter to everyone through the many front end clients.

excellent, more twitter spam, but with 'ratings'. yay.
why does everyone wanna mess with twitter? it is what it is, and it's good because of that. ReTweets have a certain usefulness, but can be irritating when over-used. this just gives even more people a new way of spamming other peoples' tweets, without contributing anything original to the twitter community.

This is a feature -- a feature that Twitter should be incorporating into its platform to give it more value to people who don't "get it" and to retain those 60% who never return. Why Twitter refuses to add a ratings system (which can't be more complicated than adding a search function) is beyond me. What is the sense in having all of this content if you can't see the highest rated recommendations on any given topic/product/link? C'mon Twitter. Get it together. This feature should've a part of the platform long ago (not a seperate api).

#Twitti am I missing something? why not just Digg Tweets (if they mean that much to you...) I generally RT tweets I like.

I LOVE THIS IDEA!! - I have already found the most interesting people in twitter in the space of 2 minutes when I have struggled for weeks to find anyone of value prior.
It does three things which I think will see it succeed
1 - It helps you promote your twitter user 2 - It helps you find great twitterers 3 - It does a better job of sifting through the rubbish than the twitter search.

Krumlr.com is also a "love child" of social bookmarking and Twitter but is more like Twitter. Twitter users already like it.

I just came across a site that seems similar to Twittl called Openzap. It takes interesting tweets and gathers them to be voted on and distributed. It seemed alright for the little time I was snooping around it. www.openzap.com

With Britney Spears and P Diddy being in the wefollow top 25 users twitter NEEDS a new way to sort out the noise from the value.
I like the cut of twittl's jib in trying to achieve this. Maybe the digg model isn't the best suited to this sort of task, something which aggregates tweets naturally in a more concise fashion than twiturly does.
I wrote an article about this very thing over at the fluid blog, check it out.
Looks like Twittl is using pligg as backend, is it?

By the way, rnk.me uses the clicks and retweets to rank tweets.

This is kind of the direction twipstream.com seems to be headed, except with a lot less bloat, and a little more focus.
I guess I'm confused as to why everything on twittl has more than 140 characters. No I didn't read the article, but i don't think I should have to.

I think this would be a really great idea if you could control what Tweets are set to be voted! I mean, not everything I Tweet about (@AlexIsMAD) is worth a vote.... but once in a while I find a great link, that can be put up for vote... So I guess me the user should be able to set what Tweets I want to be voted on... and the rest (about my addiction to coffee) should just be normal Tweets... Not sure that makes sense! =)
You are right, I tried it, this won't work. It's too complicated and it makes no sense. They should let you import your tweets as well so you could twigg em.
Twittl and any other Twittl like ideas is proving Twitters huge success until now. I really don't think that it will last for long but we will all see.

Like Digg that has many of spam blogs, you'll find that people will submit their own tweets on Twittl.
