[...] Twitter, for instance, the latest social networking service to take center stage in the age of electronic network norm has taken on a new type of audience. Primarily businesses that are media-oriented. The shift has resulted in us not really thinking terms like “tweet” or “twittered” as odd forms of communication. We barely know it’s there. Broadcaster and key-note speaker, Todd Maffin, explains this phenomenon here. [...]

I don't agree with the premise of this article. Twitter won't die if people keep using the Twitter platform. On the contrary, it will grow stronger and more pervasive. It will be used through 3rd party apps for sure, but Twitter will still handle the data and the traffic. If, on the other hand, everyone stops using Twitter but migrates over to other similar platforms, your prediction will come true. I don't think they will, because the Twitter platform will be too central and hard to copy -just think about Google, which became a verb a long time ago. Google is locked in as the core search-platform in hundreds of millions of browsers, websites, blogs and what have you. Is the Google Brand less strong because of it? Hell no. Distribution of data through APIs is a massive trend that reduces the importance of the home page. Twitter doesn't even advertise on theirs. That's why I don't think fewer visits to Twitter.com is going to hurt Twitter as a brand nor a platform.

This is akin to what happened to Kleenex, FedEx, and Xerox. The brand became synonymous with the act — please hand me a kleenex, or I need this FedExed, or can you xerox this for me? We do not send messages or update our walls, we tweet. Other apps will come along but we will always tweet. That is how twitter will live forever.

I guess pointcast is not a good example. Like Murdock pointed out "inactivity" – It was a lame, super arrogant leadership with no sense to the market. But pointcast is a good example for companies like them
Twitter must watch their progress. Today Twitter has the weakest technology with the worst engineering team in the space. That is risky if somebody else just steps in. Beta users are patient and loyal – but there s a limit… I use Twitter since 07. While the technology is getting no better – the spamers take over.

This was a very interesting article, because I completely agree! While features such as Lists and Retweet have been implemented within the actual Twitter website, since I access all of my tweets through a third-party app, as do an ample percentage of Twitter users, these features have gone under the radar (until these apps start using the API for them in their own programs).

None the less, I haven't even gotten a chance to use any of them because, well, it's just not as accessible to me to use the Twitter website itself, especially when getting alerted to @ replies from people who are not being followed.

So, sadly, I do agree. I love the concept of Twitter, really I do, but, with such a decline of the actual website usage, it really makes it hard to know why I should keep using it through there… unless they finally up the API grabs that can be made. That, I will admit, is slightly an issue. But, I've rambled enough.
