If you mean "Internet" as a communications system that includes one-to-one (ie email or im) then we agree. Not sure about the desire to broadcast, though. Hey Fred.

Use it all the time. I just don't think that everyone will get the same use out of it, because not everyone needs or wants to communicate as much as Twitterers do. Doesn't mean it can't be big, just means I don't see it as being nearly as universal as Google, YouTube, (or travel, or fire, William). And I think real-time search is great, too. But right now that really means "real-time search of Twitterers and other social-media makers", which is useful but limited. @Eldon, I'll deal with you in private.

Searching the real-time web holds benefits google cannot deliver. As the twitterstream contains more and more data about what is happening now (as opposed to what has been crawled over the last few weeks and years), the search becomes more and more powerful to a wide swath of the population.

Yeah, sort of like people who wanted overnight package delivery, or travel to another city by jet, or heck- personal computers. Probably about 150000 years ago Mug-ug said to Tig-Zig, "Fire only for people who want to hot sabre-tooth tiger meat." “…people who want to broadcast their thoughts or actions to the rest of the world — that’s always going to be a subset of the general population…”

It's about sharing information. Sometimes this information verges on the inane, such as, "I'm off to lunch with @peterojas" (in my dreams) but often it's helping make a headline, video or other piece of info go viral. Twitter is the conduit to those other behemoths - the YouTubes and Googles of the world. Dare I say Twitter will help make more such stars. I commend your tireless analyses.
