Excellent idea. I've been looking for something like this for a while.
One criticism I have right off the bat is that it is too busy. A lot of news sites are like that and maybe there is a reason, so it may be worth it to spend a few days working on a way for the user to change the layout if he chooses. (I use Twitter's RSS feed because I can't stand the custom backgrounds.)
That's only a suggestion, but here is something else to think about if you want to hit the US or Japanese markets: figure out how to filter tweets. I'm neither familiar with your site nor Twitter's API, but I imagine you could filter tweets on a term like @seenr or something like that. It benefits the user because they are posting to their personal tweet domain when they see something incredible but they are also posting to a news service. It's a great start, keep it up.
