[...] Why Twitter is winning "Twitter is winning not because it has managed its success well but because its competitors have bungled the counterattack. No service has stepped up to offer even the semblance of an alternative to Twitter’s value proposition, that being a digital soapbox on which to debate the ideas, events, and emotions that course through the place formerly known as the blogosphere. In an oddly ironic way, FriendFeed and Identi.ca have siphoned off the most vocal critics of Twitter’s failures and kept them occupied long enough for Twitter to recover." [...]

Understanding the need to limit one’s own power to aggregate even broader power is a skill that must emanate from the center.

Blogging at autonomo.us these smart folks are raising the red flag and in the case of Identi.ca, creating more open services to compete with proprietary leaders. Evan Prodromou is the creator of identi.ca, a micro-blogging service which embraces computing freedom to an extent Twitter does not. Unfortunately, the network effects in play make Identi.ca a difficult success story. [...]

BTW, the real reason why Twitter is winning despite its pitiful uptime is because of the established community that didn’t want to migrate to competitors. It has less than nothing to do with the competitors inability to (as you so called it) “offer even the semblance of an alternative to Twitter’s value proposition, that being a digital soapbox”.

I have heard the above before, what the hell does that even mean? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, don’t blab out shit like that without backing it up with specific examples, otherwise it comes across as merely a stupid unsubstantiated opinion.

Why do people think Jaiku went App Engine? It’s simply been rolled into the overall Google tech stack, not made available to or through App Engine, as far as I’ve seen/heard/read, though I’d love to be proven wrong here.

Twitter was a good idea, but both Facebook and Myspace have Twitter capabilities. Twitter doesn’t have pictures, comments, or a way to organize your followers.

Also why are we still talking about social media when Google is web. 4.0? I can find anything and anyone with Google. I can teach myself anything too. Twitter is just a bunch of people talking. It is a fad but at least it is better than Facebook.

@Karoli maybe one day it will be considered enterprise IT- right now though, it’s a fancy toy for bloggers and some of the less technophobic people in press and politics.

I work in enterprise IT, and of all the interesting stuff that’s happened this last week, none of it has been written about.

shouldn’t have used email as the analogy. Think of it in terms of real-time sales data, industry news, employee communications instead. All archived and accessible.

Basil,

If Twitter were purposed as a service to serve email or sales data in real time to a company would it be IT-related?

If you shift your thinking of Twitter from “just a microblog” to “a service that moves data in real time”, it becomes completely IT-related. Just sayin’.

@SteveGillmor

/Rant

This is an excellent article I would have been thrilled to see in my TechCrunch feed, but it’s not about enterprise IT. Twitter (and microblogging in general) are still firmly web 2.0 technologies, and are only beginning to be slowly embraced by the world outside the silicon valley elite.

On the other hand, there have been a rash of interesting things happening in the enterprise IT world this last week, many of which I have yet to see you write about. Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, VMWare, and HP have all had stuff happen to them recently that have been firmly ignored by your blog. Why call it a blog about enterprise IT if most of the content is going to be about web 2.0 and microblogging?
