Quick copy comment:

I don't understand what this means on the frontpage: "We find the keywords distinct to who you follow"

On the feed page, "Why am I seeing this?" shows this: "How keytweet works: When you click like or retweet. We try display tweets with similar content. If you don't rate or retweet. We build a list of popular topics in your feed. We then try to match tweets from your feed to those topics. The # on the left side is how relevent we feel that tweet is to you. Enjoy!"

It's confusing.

So my advice is for you to have somebody review all your copy.

edit: my comment might sound very dry, so let me add this: I think it's a good idea if done well, though I follow a small enough number of people that I might not need it yet.

I like it. It worked well for me and solved a problem I had last night. It might be that I don't know how to use twitter well. I have too many people I follow and there's too much activity now. I just want to quickly scan to see what's 'new and interesting' from the people I follow. It seems like this does that.

Request: Would it also make sense so that I can see the last tweet from everyone on my list or does something like that already exist? It's not really 'key tweet' at that point though.

ps. I don't mind and appreciate the simplicity of the design. I didn't read the copy though.

so I got the following keywords: "comments, prop, wave, link, google, democrats, photoshop" - Today is a poor day for this or I am really having a hard time with how I would use this. I do think it's a great idea, I just think the topic algorithm needs to look at multiple words and ignore some others.
