Twitter can only milk the “as is” state of its solution for so long. Some will naturally drop-off, cause it just wasn’t a fit for them . . . luckily for Twitter a more compelling alternative has yet to surface.

Twitter deserves what ever success they have now. Their services are worth it.

Looks like search spam has reached deep into the heart of Vietnam. What a shame. It’s such a beautiful country.

All services peak. Google has basically flatlined on traffic for the past two years. AOL is no longer the dominant Internet Service Provider.

Peaks happen. Plateaus happen. What companies need to worry about is whether they are peaking or plateauing.

John,

As much as you LOVE social media you cannot stand being a part of a service that is flattening, can you?

Twitter Continues Flattening, But Is This A Real Measure. Can you predict success in life by results of popularity contests in a high school.

I don’t think this is a meaningful measurement at all. It is so prevalent only because it is so ubiquitous and easy to produce. Can you predict success in life by results of popularity contests in a high school? The traffic statistics even less useful as it is heavily affected by auto bots.

Every business that provides "nice to have" solutions (products/services) are faced with humans that respond to new stimuli. It is imperative for businesses that operate in the "nice to have" space to continually innovate and deliver stimuli that users care about and value. In other words, Twitter can only milk the "as is" state of its solution for so long. Some will naturally drop-off, cause it just wasn't a fit for them . . . luckily for Twitter a more compelling alternative has yet to surface (yet).

Overall, the "social network" value proposition will need to continue to evolve and nothing in the business world lasts forever, especially if it stays the same.

Timing is such an underestimated factor.

Twitter is a great tool, but is it becoming ‘white noise’? JB lemme know what the next new thing is?

anyone think that Twitter is going to be the next Myspace? extremely popular considering that nobody still uses it. Biz and co. should have taken the $$$$ when they had the chance.
