Long before there was Twitter, there was AOL
When Twitter suffered a brown-out last weekend, the “twitterati” had a collective conniption. I suppose the good news for co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone is that the bad news kicked up such a storm. Lots of people are so addicted to Twitter that the intermittent problems wreaked havoc with their daily routine.
Apparently, Twitter seems to be the next big thing after sliced bread just like Facebook, Xanga, MySpace and the likes. The Internet is just too dynamic for Twitter to stick around for long(at least from my point of view). It might last a few years but sooner or later there will be a new bigger thing again. That’s just the way the Internet is, it’s fast and dynamic.
Like years ago, I remember Angelfire and Geocities were a big hit, I had my first website on Geocities and now what? I’m not even sure if my first site is still online, I don’t even remember the URL and I don’t care. I created it, talked about it for a few days/weeks and I moved on.

Yea, but the purpose of Geocities was to create a website - and that’s all - Twitter is something more, it allows you to stay in touch with other people wherever you are, by different means - computer, cell phones etc.
In my opinion Twitter may stay as long as normal phones - as long as it will adjust to technology advances.
In those days, creating a website and putting it on the web was a big thing and there were no blogspot or wordpress(I think!).
Twitter might adjust but there might be something new that could take over. Tommorrow, maybe a new website lets you post multimedia messages from your cellphone…
I’ve read an article somewhere on polish website that in future instant messages via such stuff like Twitter or even MSN will make SMS a history… and maybe even normal calls will turn into history - I think I see your point and I have to agree - who knows what our future will bring us? Maybe someday we won’t need phones and we will be talking thru some global communications devices inside of our heads… it will be a time when no one will laugh when I will say “I hear voices in my head” rotfl
If I’m not wrong, I think there is a mobile phone company that is working on a new phone which is going to be like a wrist watch and you can listen to the caller from your thumb and talk in your small finger. I can’t remember well, I saw that on the news or something, probably a year ago.
