Great write-up! It's amazing to see a service complete with all bells and whistles beaten up by a 140 chars rivals. I think we can put the blame to the Early Adopters Inc. and its CEOs. Those CEO decide which microblogging network to use. Somehow, we can now guess their preference: Low fat! Less sugar. A plain 140 chars apparently is all they need. While they also add more addon onto it, later away, eg: twitpic, tinyurl, separate video service, etc. So, we have now our secret to success in microblogging competition: Follow the leader. Or follow the next leader, to be more appropriate. This is Scoble era, who knows who will lead tomorrow. While Scoble loves low fat at the moment, next leader may prefer something entirely different. Seek the leader!!! Yahoo! Great write-up! It’s amazing to see a service complete with all bells and whistles beaten up by a 140 chars rivals.
