It can be to share so many different types of information. I think it will beyond the initial fascination with "what am I doing now" - just as blogs have.

The real interesting thing, in my opinion, in the growing popularity of twitter will be the growing applications that tie into twitter. TwitPic is one example of it. Someone found a desire to find a way to share pictures easily in twitter and made it happen. Companies are starting to use twitter more and more to connect with their customers, which is probably the best advertising model EVER. Think about it. I follow @DunkinDonuts because I love their coffer, enjoy their breakfast sandwiches, and there is one right near my house, so I am a frequent customer. I follow them, and they have set up a free twitter account and I can get information on them for free. Imagine that! I don't have to buy a newspaper, they don't have to pay to send me stuff. It works out well for both parties. They get free ads, I get free discounts. So, yes, I agree, the surface is just getting scratched. Wait until it gets buffed! Hey, thanks for the plug.
