I punched through a dozen or so and 100% of those were rhetorical. You need to combine it with some NLP like Kevin's doing here: http://reviewsignal.com/webhosting/

I had a lot of rhetorical questions too. Also, Kevin's solution is not 100% waterproof - just looked through some "negative reviews" for ServInt and they weren't exactly negative. Maybe you could build a bayesian filter of some kind? (I'm not sure how Kevin filtered his reviews exactly?)

I got 5 questions in a row like 'Do you want to meet there at that time?' which were direct twitter messages to specific people. This needs more filtering as others have commented.

It bugs me to see this on TechCrunch and HN when there are great submissions that did not get such opportunity (example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4804373).

nice to see this idea being picked up again. I had a similar idea quite a while ago (early 2010), although I didn't build it on top of the twitter API (which in retrospect might have been better). http://askcue.com is still online and you can anonymously ask questions. btw. it seems that the site doesn't work atm.
