I wouldn't be so quick to write Twitter off just because, like the rest of t'interweb, it's 98% rubbish to 2% brilliance.

Twitter isn't for everyone, in the same way bulletin boards or blogs aren't. Some people like the sound of their own tone of voice a little too much, others see too much noise to signal, some like to be passive observers - or active facebook/myspace stalkers.

Twitter is good for business.
That is if your tweets are like a canary, rather than a crow.
HTH

Everyone under 35 seems to think they are so 'interesting' (or ought to be) that we should all follow their every movement 24/7.
When they are not broadcasting torrents of information about nothing, they are downloading or spazzing out on their iPods and mobile phones.
They never stop. There is no silence. No rest from the relentless 'information'.

You don't become the next Google just by getting very rich. Twitter will lose popularity in the same way Facebook/Myspace will, as something else comes along. On the other hand, web-searching is a core feature OF the web rather than something people do ON the web.

Twitter is currently becoming popular, and being valued in the billions of dollars, because of it's possibilities as a real time search engine for news and trends.
If they can find a good way to monetise it (corporate accounts, advertising, micro-payments) then it *may* become the next Google.
*shudder*
That all sounds horribly like marketing babble, apologies, and I'm a dev as well!

And its the good old tube.
Dead silence all the way for the most part and long may it continue.
I blame northeners. They like to witter and prattle about nothing.
