How Intriguing! I saw today that Brittany Spears is on twitter, but somehow I think it would ruin my rep eternally to follow her. :o I do however follow Shaq & The Terminator!

Newspapers (if the Mail can ever aspire to such a lofty description) are terrified of becoming reduntant, and being more and more disintermediated by the web – but the fact of the matter is, that's what is exactly happening.

To quote @TomRaftery “Why would I want to pay for deforested, dead tree, out-of date, news when I have it all online coming to me?” Newspapers have to evolve or die, and I for one would not miss it if the Mail fails to evolve.

However, I think the 'tipping point' for Twitter will come when there's a Twitter software shipping on every mobile phone, and that's a feature the network operators advertise.

Of course, it'll help if Twitter get their act together to do a deal with mobile carriers or a broker (or even a sponsor) in the UK to allow twitter messages to be once again sent and received via SMS, but they don't seem to be treating the issue with any sort of urgency, despite the fact there could be huge recurring and growing revenue for all concerned if they make the right deal.

I saw a stat this weekend that stated that about 95% of mobile phone owners are always within 1 metre of their phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Now THAT is where you want your tweetspot!

Regards, David
