I found your article to be very much on target. Although I started using Twitter over a month ago, I still have a nagging suspicion that it could simply be the next "Pet Rock".
Oprah, who with much fanfare began using it a couple of weeks ago, already seems bored with it. She rarely Tweets.
Nielson has just reported that 60% of users stop using the service a month later.
This stone is skipping across the media and popularity pond, but in the end it just might sink.
Either way, use it while its popularity lasts.
