looks great.. way to go.. ranking tweets based on re-tweets is the best way to filter out twitter noise.. a suggestion would be to keep it local to begin with.. india specific.. else it'll again somewhat become noise at international level..

I created something on same lines but much much smaller (and minimal) : www.lessvu.com

primarily to track certain active communities in india.. (presently works for journalists only)

thanks. Retweets is just one rule. Pretty much like google uses back links as an indicator, but has 200-300 other rules, we use retweets as an indicator but have 100+ rules probably. or around. These rules are spread across metadata analysis (language based, response type, location based filtering etc), statistical analysis(no of retweets, recency based scoring etc) and linguistic/textual analysis (syntactical construction, use of spammy words, characters etc)
