    Default Has twitter jumped the shark?

    With all the major news outlets plugging their twitter usernames, how long before twitter is the new myspace? Or is it already there?

    I've found that it's nothing but a bunch of noise. The moment you start following someone popular is the moment you've subscribed to the static channel.

    I always thought facebook stole myspaces thunder. Not sure whether twitter will overtake either of them popularity wise. There will probably be something else just around the corner that will be the next big thing.

    I agree, facebook overtook myspace a while back
    twitter isn't like facebook or myspace, so I don't see it as competition

    Twitter annoys me. There is so much going on that you can't really follow anything. And people tweet about stupid stuff that nobody cares about.

    Definitely. They are too different types of sites. Facebook is far way bigger than twitter. So I really don't think if twitter would dominate more than facebook. But right now, it definitely won't.

    Even if you hate Twitter, you should create your own profile or someone else might create it. Search for Hugh Jackman Twitter and you will see what I am talking about.

    So true, there is so much following going on, reminds me of myspace when everyone just wanted as many friends as possible....

    I don't think they have jumped the shark. I think the hype is starting to fade, but twitter definitely is here to stay.

    It's gotten way too popular! I give it another 3 years before it ends up like Myspace.

    twitter has been able to set itself apart from facebook and not get swallowed up. it's still a better source for minute to minute news than facebook. think at this point, though, it has a better chance of becoming irrelevant than facebook. social networks and the web in general is such a fad and what have you done for me lately arena--i'm very interested in how social companies can assure their longevity. how do you stay a free service and not run scared?
