Very great points, and I do agree. I feel there will reach a point at which Twitter's “usefulness” will diminish quickly. Until then, I still think it remains a valuable tool in the toolkit.

The bigger point here would be look beyond the tool that's being used, and look more closely at the function it's performing. In this case, Twitter was used as a way to disseminate information rapidly and broadly. Those capabilities of Twitter have been known from the get-go. It will become increasingly important to identify which tools are being used to achieve these functions, whether it's Twitter….or the next Twitter.

It seems like every couple of years, the masses move from one online social media tool to the next. With Twitter's scaling problems, and the recent study that showed how many users create an account and then abandon it soon thereafter, the landscape could be different in a few years.
