Only show me content that's been re-tweeted more than X times, where X is something that I can set.

I don't want to read about what somebody had for lunch and I wouldn't expect it to be re-tweeted. But something thoughtful or interesting or funny would be.

Yes, there would be problems with fake accounts re-tweeting but that should be solvable.

I wrote a chrome extension to solve something similar i.e. filter out by keywords and then sort my timeline to see popular tweets that I shouldn't miss.
