The problem is I don't particularly want any media organisation controlling any media organisation either. I don't want Twitter, a private org, to be the public space. Saying that, I don't use Twitter, I've never really seen the point of it. I agree with "if we're lucky", but in a different way - lucky for me would be that this causes a transformation whereby distributed services become popular enough to be self sustaining and interesting. I doubt they'll ever be dominant, that doesn't matter, I will use them (lightly).
