> As an aside, I honestly think Twitter will become very mainstream.
I'm rooting for Twitter to succeed independently (e.g. not acquired by Google or Facebook).
I think I started suspecting Twitter was reaching out to the mainstream (or at least the younger generation) when I would click on random public timeline and/or summize search result rows and find people who had 40-50 followers, talking about what was going on in their life (e.g. normal, average people not social media cultists)
The power of Twitter is that is like a cocktail party laced with real-time search capabilities.
