• Well, the prototype already exists, with Skype. Jaanus Kase, Skype community marketing manger, created Mood Geist.

• But this is the consumer internet and Twitter has less to fear. Twitter is a cultural product.

  • I Commented that I'm not sure I agree. I think even Twitter is at early end of the Adoption Life Cycle. See 2006-05-13-Web2CrossingChasm.
