I don’t know about twitter’s business plan, but I wish they would add the ability to follow a thread. It’s chaos.

I agree with you Om, Twitter needs more competition. A platform with more visualization options for your tweetgraphs and some of the grouping capabilities Tweetdeck offers…and ofcourse, media embedding a la Twitpic.

I also think the way forward for Twitter’s business model lies with search. What it needs to do is couple their summize investment with a strong adsense-like platform for brokering/broadcasting ads.

With enough critical mass, Twitter could be Google’s first competition in the search space since it took out Altavista.
