I am not good at Twitter, but I find it extremely interesting, and it strikes me that smart young scholars can maybe make a killing there (in the economic sense of the word only, of course).
For example, I recently learned about the following two twitter bots:
First: Pentametron (https://twitter.com/pentametron), a bot that searches Twitter for tweets that are (accidentally?) in Iambic Pentameter, and retweets them.
Second: DeepDrumpf (https://twitter.com/DeepDrumpf),
a bot that uses techniques from human language processing to produce
Trump-like tweets by training a machine on things Trump has really
tweeted.
Just think about what it would require to do either of these tasks - and then how such skills could be 'monetized'....
