If they don't do it, someone will and that's when we'll see the commercial side of micro-blogging make sense (cents).

Yeppers. I see Twitter is very much a platform that's open to more collaborative apps + add-ons, much like WordPress. What will be interesting is if Twitter can engage and incorporate third party apps like TweetDeck, analytics/stats providers as partners, vs merely buying them out. It'll move them up the development curve faster, give users a better quality experience with a shorter development lifecycle, etc, etc. There's only 1,000 things they could bring back. Oh, and I don't know how well their mindshare will translate into long term commercial sustainability. Aside from that, it's perfect. Google News Alerts for Twitter?

By that measure, Hotmail and Yahoo! mail might be decrepit. If they buy bit.ly, i expect some type of fallout among the other URL shortening services. - Will be interesting how they construct storehouses of relevant data in real time. Like I said, if they manage to conquer this mountainous challenge, they'd be standing on top of the heap. Goodness knows we've seen enough fail whales to last us for a while.

Some of us have been on Twitter since the good ole days of '06. That's middle-aged for web startups! I still think they are going to buy bit.ly and run all links through that service (which does allow for API integration, stats, etc... so you could build a search engine on top of that) but not go the direct "indexing of all links" route. No reason to re-invent the Google Pagerank wheel with authority, etc (and the subsequent headaches and industries it has created). Sam “Hot upstart”?
