Why do your points not really matter? - twitter already has a huge community -> check - twitter is known to normal people -> check - integrated into traditional media -> check - there are no alternatives with a comparable amount of members -> check - All of your points don't matter for normal users -> check What competitors are there to twitter? - App.net: Probably too expensive for the majority to todays twitter users - Google+: No good clients, too hard user discovery (no way to find users via convenient handles), real-name focussed. - Facebook: Privacy Nightmare, real-name focussed, insisting on a limited amount of mutual friendships instead of breadcasting - identi.ca/status.net: Would be perfect, but nobody seem to be using it Considering all this, I would assume twitter is going to stay.
