It will be interesting to see what will happen to Twitter if Facebook continues build micro-blogging features. I have a hard time believing that Twitter will survive an all out assault by FB, but who knows.

Your earlier post about the resurgence of growth is interesting though. #iranelection, #mj, and other recent events have shown us how interesting and dynamic these little tweets can be.

I think too many assume Twitter will remain what it is today. I disagree. This sucker will not be recognizable in three years.

It's not about posting information that is useful/interesting to 'the public', it's about creating a following in a particular niche or community and sharing useful information or discussions with it. I've noticed that it's particularly popular in technical or nerdy groups where tips, resources and guidance are shared between similar users/people.
