Two ways I would improve Twitter/Facebook Updates

Here's a couple more of "my"(not sure if I'm first) brilliant (upon initial self-evaluation) ideas : How I would improve Twitter/Facebook Updates: THE PROBLEM: The deluge of status-updates/tweets from "too many" friends in one's feed prevents one from getting the "good ones" and bores too often with the rest. The only current option of "excluding"/"unfollowing" is too extreme. My solutions involve customization. MY FIRST SOLUTION IS "TIERS": Enable users to optionally subscribe to either: (A) Instantaneous feeds/tweets (B) Daily feeds/tweets (C) Weekly feeds/tweets ...by allowing users to have 3-tiers of "status update". Users can triage their updates/tweets and put their "good ones" in their 'Weekly' updates knowing that a friend who subscribes less often gets their "best" (not the boring). Example: Dan... (A) is caught in traffic. (B) wants to know the name of the heavy-set comedian who says "I'm bulimic. I'm just forgetful". (C)  seeks help with his documentary "Time to Impact" http://timetoimpact.com MY SECOND SOLUTION IS "USER-SET LAYOUT": Enable a user to "layout" a separate page for updates/tweets. A user can designate specific sections for different people, groups etc. Imagine it sort of like a newspaper reliably having sports on the back page, gossip on page 6 etc. You know exactly where to look to get all the updates you're interested in (in one place/on one page). Example (formatted in a 9-square Brady Bunch-esque grid): ______________________________________________________________ Mary Girlfriend...(A)       |     Dave Bestfriend.... (A)     |   John FormerBoss...(B) ------------------------------- |  ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------- AlumniGroup...(C)         |  HighSchool Buddies... (C)  |  Coworkers... (C) ------------------------------- |  ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------- FormerCoworkers...(C) |  COMMENTS ON NOTES   |  Everyone/thing else...(A) ______________________________________________________________ NOTE - Within each square previous updates can be "scrolled-through" for review and of course settings can be modified to change the placement & tier. ALSO - any friend's update with a specified "secret urgent code" could get highest placement/priority/prominence. So a group of friends could agree that any post/tweet that ends with the code "#%898" gets priority because it's urgent. A more advanced system could let users set their own code ratings and share with those they deem fit and then a complex sorting system could "re-rank" according to a given poster's priority balanced by the user's priority assessment of that poster. This all ties back to my paradigm of trust/accountability to deal with info-overload as evident in my search engine: http://www.Optevi.com So what do you think of my ideas for Twitter/Facebook? "Waste of my/your time", "Kind of interesting", or "Why hasn't the world recognized your genius, Dan?" ;-)
