This is a great idea but as manglav said, people trust the opinions of their network so it will be hard to get users to use it when they can ask their friends/colleagues.

Also the solution manglav provides, perfect, if you can do it that would make the process much simpler but it would take a lot of work. Check out http://chirpify.com, they do something interesting with NLP on Twitter.

If you want to work on something else, I would be happy to talk to you more about what I am working on. Email is on my profile.

The one thing we have proven is that while people do trust their own network, they have been open to hearing from us. Off the top of my head, we convert maybe 40% of the time. By convert I mean getting someone to click on a link to our site from twitter.
