I am afraid that you are the one who does not get it totally. Microblogging is gone past the peak and is slowly descending into the trough. and this is good, if you understand what that means.

it means that we are finally figuring out what it really does, how it really works, and what we can do with it. it means that we are learning our lessons on how to do it well and how to do it badly. it means that it hit (or is about to hit) critical mass and become more widely adopted and implemented.

it means that your business of being a “twitter expert” will be more in demand.

hyped technologies are rarely adopted and implemented in sufficient numbers to make a dent, it is the ones that are descending or are already in the trough that get the most investment and lower attention. but that is good. i could not care less for ashton kutcher and oprah and what they have to say, but i am very interested in seeing how twitter and other SM tools become useful in the enterprise.

and for that, and gartner gets it better than you obviously, you need to be in the trough.

(and, btw, gartner highlighted the importance of the real-time web about 5-6 years ago — so there is something to be said about getting it ahead of the rest — ain't it)
