Thanks Sean, glad you liked it.

What I find amazing is how many people take joy in forecasting it's death. I guess some people love to say shocking things to generate hype.

Completely agree, serving all the niches of the long tail by allowing third party apps, groups and lists to help you filter through the large amount of information being shared to find the stuff relevant to you is definitely one of the keys to it's survival.

I think one of the biggest things with Twitter is its relevance and reach.

Because there's such a huge number of people on there, there is always information that is being thrown around that's relevant to you, whoever you might be. The wealth of information is incredible.

The other huge thing that separates it from would be competitors, in my mind, is the fact that it's not, at its core, a service for connecting with friends or people you all ready know. You can make such valuable connections with people you may not have had a chance to encounter otherwise.

The truth of it all is that Twitter presents real value to those who use it and like you said, until another service does it better, it'll still be here.
