I agree some and disagree some. Regarding M and N, I don't think they can control spam any more than m and n, given that M and N are going to be super-sets of root domains of m MULTIPLIEDBY Y{1 to j} and no of tweets of n MULTIPLIEDBY Y{1 to j} respectively, where j is the no of Y in each X.

Where I totally agree is the "Swarm" intelligence is superior to an individual philosophy. The same thing is dictating our thought process as well. Here: http://frrole.com/about-us

Where I again think differently is the 140 chars vs. the linked article line of thought. Grant that maybe we should call this "social headlines for your city" instead of "social newspaper..." ( 140 chars make for perfectly good headlines) but I believe that the information overload today is increasing drastically, attention span therefore (and otherwise) is decreasing significantly; so much so that more content, specially textual, is not the answer. Less content in fact is the answer, but chosen intelligently enough so that it does not leave things out.

Where I definitely agree with gayakwad is that these are fantastic inputs, the kind of inputs one definitely expects on HN. See from your profile that your areas of interest too are those that we are working on (Frrole is a lot, LOT more than no of retweets btw), maybe we should talk offline?
