&gt;I don&#x27;t think Twitter is going anywhere; it has a huge user base and a lot of people think of it as a branch of the internet.<p>It&#x27;s not going anywhere in the next year or two. But in five years? Ten years?<p>Twitter&#x27;s main problem is that it has one product, and it&#x27;s possible to get bored with that product. It&#x27;s not really possible to get bored of googling things or buying things off amazon, but it&#x27;s entirely possible to get bored of twitter.<p>Remember when every man and his dog had a blog? (Or possibly a livejournal?) Remember when the word &quot;blogosphere&quot; was all over the news? What happened to all the blogs?
