Yes! Twitter requires too much work to be useful!

Sorry for the plug, but this is exactly how http://svven.com can help. New user tweets a couple of links - gets other people that tweeted same links - and also the other links they tweeted. How's this for a solution?

Just tried it. It makes me look incredibly boring. :( I just don't seem to tweet enough links to things that are actually interesting. Lesson learned.

This is another great point!

Twitter just doesn't offer any incentive to tweet interesting stuff, besides the vanity features (stars/favs/likes/whatever they just introduced).

Svven gives you a good incentive to do so. Thanks a lot for trying it, check back after tweeting some cool links! ;)

Didn't PG say he wanted something like that?

Did he?

Well I applied for YC Fellowship and didn't make it. That was a pitty also given the naming coincidence - "fellowship" is the core concept in Svven.
