Twitter wasn’t just software or visible leadership (for better or worse) but an entire important slice of Internet history.

    When MySpace started becoming popular, most people had no idea about it. Then there was Facebook and most people had no idea about it either. Then there was Twitter and most people had no idea about micro blogging…

    It’s a repeating trend that eventually ends that a saturation point is reached.

    Maybe Facebook and Twitter won’t immediately or ever go away (Myspace still exists in some form despite a massive data loss!) but they will be occupied only by those who cannot and will not migrate away from them.

    The other side of the coin is similar to when you find a cool spot to hang out and it starts to become popular until eventually one day you visit, it’s full of brash idiots, the vibe is completely different and you wish that less people knew about the place.

    Be careful what you wish for!
