Twitter - here to stay?

A few people have said to me over the last few months - ‘Twitter will be dead in 2 years’. My first reaction was to immediately bounce back at them and say ‘No way! It’s not going away anytime soon’. 

Mashable have recently reported the latest twitter user estimates using figures calculated by Nielsen reports, who estimates Twitter has grown an enormous 1,382% in one year (from Feb 08 to Feb 09), with a massive 7 million unique visitors in the US for the month of February alone.

Despite these huge numbers, I suppose no one knows how long this communication tool will be popular for but there is no denying how dramatic the uptake has been over the last 2 or so years and how useful this tool can be for use today! (and not just for geeks like me).

I saw this clip the other day, ‘Twitter in Real Life’ by Dan Gurewitch - he takes his twitter skills out on the street in real life, it’s very funny, check it out…

What do you think will be Twitter’s future? Will it go where ever ICQ went within 2 years?
