    Dont these kinda sites all get bought out once they get anyway popular. That and I would like it to develop a bit.

    Not this one it would seem like they may have plans for Twitter, Facebook tried to buy it out, they said not, it was in the millions the offer! (I think)

    I have to agree with Barry, I think that it will be bought out and covered in flashy ads in no time. You just wait and see.

    Interesting question!

    My organisation have been using Twitter for two years now, and are amazed at the sudden interest in it.

    We used it to send important updates to our members via text messages (back when the UK service did that!). Today, we still use it for this purpose, however it’s not as useful as it used to be.

    One thing that is really interesting about the service, is the macro-data it produces. Organisations such as the BBC can look at the ‘collective picture’ to get an idea what the population is interested in at any given time, and large corporations might use it to find out whether anyone is talking about their new advertising campaign etc etc.

    I think it’s here to stay, even if it’s popularity drops again.

    Thanks’ Matt for the comment.

    I did not realise the extent to which the stats can be tracked, but I do think twitter will only get better.

    When I first saw twitter – I immediately wrote it off, how wrong we can be!

    It’s like IRC except there is only one channel and everyone is on ignore by default.

    Like I don’t see the appeal of it at all, just another silly Web 2.0 service with a silly name
