Even the next “copycat” version WITH advancements won’t be useful either. Twitter is a waste of time! There is no business opportunties with it (advertising), which in the end will kill it. It will never go away, per say, but classified it as netscape!

And their record with acquisitions is about the same. And closing up Twitter might be doable, but may not be. The real value is in semantically parsing tweets for actual meaning, something that might be a bit more possible than a general web search with a limited 140 character set, multiple tweets on the same topic from the same person, and @ replies. They need to either commit to a dynamic management of Twitter and not letting it atrophy for years until revealing a grand update - something more in the model of Gmail's evolution than that of Google Analytics or Voice - or they should consider a lesser stake and just becoming the premier search provider for twitter. Then again, Twitter should really make the search more seamless with the site anyway and not have it set up like it is currently as a parallel site.

I had no idea that blogger and twitter were developed by the same duo... Evan Williams and Biz Stone .. they also created Xanga Wow! You make sense.
