Comments on: The Future Of Twitter http://www.IndustryReview.org/opinion/the-future-of-twitter One Guy's Thoughts On Technology, Social Media, Internet Marketing, Artificial Intelligence, and more Fri, 28 Oct 2011 07:19:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: admin http://www.IndustryReview.org/opinion/the-future-of-twitter/comment-page-1#comment-8251 admin Tue, 17 Aug 2010 11:36:31 +0000 http://www.IndustryReview.org/?p=1736#comment-8251 Terri, I didn't suggest Twitter will vanish, let alone overnight - I don't think this will happen. Even Friendster and MySpace still exist, long after Facebook has completely taken their space. While I agree that having many followers is likely to discourage some people from leaving (probably most), if a new and significantly improved platform comes along, they'll do so eventually. I know I will. Don't forget it'll also present new opportunities. For example, I currently have 97,000 followers... but so what? There are 1,500 people with similar or more followers. Now if I were present at the very beginning of Twitter... Anyway, I don't think I will try and get many followers at any such new platform. This was a fun exercise, but ultimately not one I think I need to repeat. Terri, I didn’t suggest Twitter will vanish, let alone overnight – I don’t think this will happen.

I guess there could be a mass migration to a new micro-blogging service, but what about all the people (like you) who are at or near 100K followers? It seems it will be impossible to get all of those people to move to a new venue—so even super stars would be starting from scratch, right? To me, that seems like the single compelling reason why Twitter will continue at least in some form. Thanks again for another insightful post.

Till date no other social network rocks my rock like Facebook and I pray it's got staying power a la Google. As you rightly say, when a business model keeps "ignoring its flaws", some one is definitely going to seal that flaw with another product and bring about the death of the former. Here's hoping that twitter will sit up soon. .-= Udegbunam Chukwudi@Sell Blogger Blogs´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StrictlyOnlineBiz/~3/bs8fbdPqUec/" rel="nofollow">Quick Update- Making Blogs Faster With W3 Total Cache</a> =-.

Now it may seem impossible but things could change so quickly and have a habit of doing so. As for the quote, it certainly sounds more plausible than mine :) Perhaps that was it.
