Everyone, literally, everyone I've talked to who'd be classed as a 'norm' (read regular consumer) has said 'I don't get it'. I've had well over a dozen friends from students to journo's who don't understand what it's there for, what do to with it and why they'd keep on using it. WHich, to be honest, has made me think for a second.<br><br>You know, originally, with the texting facility, it was so people could find out what their friends, collegues, and such were doing, that's what made it so popular at SXSW in 07, and if explained clearly would let those 'I don't get it' people, get it. But now it seems to be so much more than that, it's like a massive networking, chat room, community, social network, conversation machine, and we can see the uses for it in terms of marketing, etc like you said with the power law side of things, but if the general masses can't see a use for it other than 'following celebrities' in the long run, will the traffic stick around, and if they're only looking at celebrities streams, how can it be a fertile ground for clients?
