Just because the inventory system says there is one in-stock doesn\'t mean there is one in stock for you. Just means it hasn\'t been checked out by someone else, could very well be roaming the store in someone elses cart.

The twiteratti \'abroad\' from the US, UK and India are those that twitter from their PC and/or data-plan-enabled phones. Just an elite. By 2012 unfortunately still SMS will not be obsoleted by GPRS access. And those most in need of collaboration tech to make their lives efficient is in developing countries.<br><br>Dealing with most wireless providers and operators is a tough ordeal (I can say from experience), but that\'s what Twitter has smart folks for, and I\'m sure phone companies would love twitter to be in their network in countries where people change prepaid numbers every so many months seeking lower costs.<br><br>2) Phone-only usage<br>Hand in hand with international SMS coverage, comes the ability to cater to cell-only users. This means doing everything - from signing up, managing profile, managing groups, updating location, etc - via SMS messages, in multiple languages<br><br>The additional data types could be achieved by a slightly smarter API and leveraging web architecture technologies, but agree better message payloads (location, user metadata, etc) could help<br><br>BTW, glad to hear you think Twitter should do these things by 2012 maybe we can get them to contribute to GeoChat which does a lot of this now (<a href="http://instedd.org/geochat" rel="nofollow">http://instedd.org/geochat</a>) which is right now in a private beta deployment for humanitarian and health applications, but is an open source project too</div>\

Robert, you have an abnormally high signal rate. People may enjoy my flavor of noise, but that doesn\'t make it less than racket. If it made sense that robert not follow you on twitter, why would he be interested in listening to you here either? I find that I get an amazing amount of value out of people who generate 99% noise (from my POV) -The KEY is knowing how to use tools to sift through that noise. Robert is particularly a master of this, it\'s his primary job. The more I can sift throug the noise, the more I find that I can engage with my followers. As I begin to reace higher and higher numbers I have to adopt stronger and stronger technologies.<br><br>If Twitter were to start including some of the metadata I could sift through it better. I use FriendFeed to do that as well. For example, I pay attention to tweets that have a large discussion following on FriendFeed (it\'s there a way to find tweets that have more than X number of comments on FF, Robert? )<br><br><br>Eber: There are several tools that are out and imminent that provide that  think this is better implemented on the client side, giving the user the more control about how those accounts are associated with  each other, if at all. The example on your blog is exactly what I would NOT want. I would want my totally personal account information to be completely seperate from the professional, and hopefully I don\'t leak any data between the two.<br><br><br>I think that it would be nice if there were a simple protocol for a meta-tweet.<br><br>It would be  the same length as the tweet, has fields that have pointers to the actual data<br><br>Does not need to be implemented by Twitter to make it work either -could be implemented directly in the client -The originating client decides to attach the meta-tweet, the viewing client knows how to open the meta-tweet and extract the pointers, and provide other applications on the client machine the links to open the actual data thats pointed to in the meta-tweet. No need to wait till 2012 for that, Robert. Get me a coder and we could have it ready in a few months.<br><br>Do you want twitter to solve all of the problems? I don\'t. The beauty of twitter is the simplicity. Implementing the meta-data directly in twitter reduces the simplicity.<br><br>Implementation in the client makes a tweet just a transport, and leave the interpretation of signal or noise up to the recipient.</div>\

A tweet to find border times? Umm...that\'s a call to a web service. Don\'t get me wrong; I realize that the simplicity of the UI and API are attractive in certain contexts. But I\'m not going to follow some service at the Washington State DOT just to get border info easily! Tweets as RPCs, URL shorteners out the wazoo, and people who actually think they can "follow" 1,000 accounts...Twitter is a weird (and interesting) place. I like it as a petri dish, but that\'s about it. Hopefully MUCH more powerful tools for socialization, information management, and agent search/analysis/synthesis will emerge, having shed their prior constraint of fitting in an SMS text. (FF is a great version 2, indeed. Still a ways to go, however.).</div>\

I think that you are right on when you say that the success of twitter is simplicity + "celebrities" + light weight profile customization. The notion of celebrity is not just a Hollywood star, it can be anyone you have a lot of respect for/lookup to and want to have connection with. In that context, I think that noise is not a tremendous problem: you can follow/unfollow, you can use the grouping offered by twitter client.<br><br>Noise becomes a problem when you start using twitter for tracking news (not people). It is off course a valid use case but I do not think that it is the key use case and not the one which is driving the viral growth of twitter. I think that if twitter is smart, they will keep the main interface dead simple and try to address this use case separately by enhancing search pages.<br><br>The reason I am saying this is that by keeping things dead simple, twitter is a much bigger danger to facebook: Let twitter define the torrain of the fight. If twitter grows into a mini facebook, they are dead...(which is what is happening to friendfeed).</div>\

I do have something to say, though.<br><br>I started my weblife diarying, first in Geocities and then Opendiary. I gladly moved on to blogging when that far more practical and versatile option arrived. The move from diarying to blogging was seamless. When microblogging came along, i started trying to figure out how that was meant to work. That change was anything but seamless; it required a complete rethink of how i addressed myself to the web.<br><br>As you say, the whole point of Twitter is that it\'s just "what i am doing now", but that is far too Zen for folks like me to grasp right out of the box. We try to form networks, try to connect with people, try to follow and participate in conversations, and Twitter just plain isn\'t about that. Sure, you can do it, but the interface seems to be set up to purposefully frustrate you should you start attempting anything like that.<br><br>Twitter has all the characteristics of being a part of something else; a part that broke off and floated away.<br><br>I understand that Facebook tried to purchase Twitter recently, and when the deal didn\'t go through, Facebook just revamped its status indicator to become a de facto Twitter. There is a need for that sort of stream-of-consciousness bleating, but the moment you want to become involved in someone talking back to you, you have to move away from Twitter and contextualise that functionality into something else.<br><br>IMHO, Twitter 2012 doesn\'t have to be any different to the Twitter we have right now. We just have to learn what it\'s for, and use it for that. If we want all that other stuff your article sets out to complexify it up with (straight after lauding its simplicity!), then we need to use something else to do that.<br><br>There endeth the lesson.//</div>\

A range of protocols already exists to propagate what you\'ve described (LDAP, SSL Certs, PK, IRC, etc.) but all of the options add layers of complexity you don\'t want.  However, without trust the community as a whole will eventually have to decide if/when to exclude the disenfranchised.  At the thread of such moderation is the tyranny of silence.  More likely "trusted computing" will become ubiquitous and the governments or corporations will be able to revoke the rights to private or public digital content in any domain for any reason (security or copyright are too big doors today and only getting larger).</div>\

In the future Twitter will be more complex because of more people using it, developer will try to improve the functions to keep it small and stupid (KISS) but after that it will be like ff and fb. I think there will be more innovative social network sites with never seen ideas and the whole market will divide in different (user) groups - it already happens. but i think the ultimate "social network" will be your (skype) list.
