Interesting how the author completely dodged around twitters lack of revenue problem. As of right now, twitter is having no trouble keeping afloat and will possibly have a revenue model in a couple years. When twitter makes money it won't "die" for quite some time, if twitter fails to make money, it will carry along like it always has, propelled by its first mover status and the hype it's created throughout all the years. I say this while setting the "its like high school" and "everyone just collects followers" arguments aside. Those seem to be hyperbole reasons to justify an argument that has no tangible bearing on twitters actual situation and status as a company and as a service.
