Twitter will attract the "what's cool right now" demographic.
But has it gone from "cool" to "useful" (for this kind of application), in a way that Facebook and other such sites haven't? I remember an employer of mine when I was trying to persuade him to build a modem into a PC so people could exchange what we'd now call emails, and he said "Roland, come back and ask me again, when I can pay your wages through that modem thing". Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity, as I left there twenty years ago, and Paypal wasn't invented until about ten years ago. -- Roland Perry
