Twitter is a fundamentally 'narrow' product. A global chatroom for the 'in' crowd, no matter which in crowd that is. Yes, it's searchable, and historical, but fundamentally 99.9% of Twitter's functionality only exists if you're on it today, constantly. I don't see how you can ever make it valuable in its current form to people who don't need to see this tweet or this thread before anyone else does. Hashtags are fundamentally, unalterably, different from usenet groups or message boards or even facebook groups. Content is less permanent, but not in an arguably "good" way as Snapchat's is.
