I'm a huge Twitter fan, and watching it go mainstream means watching people completely misunderstand it. It's not replacing email, Google, Facebook, or blogs. It's not a competition or a celebrity toy. It's not even about what you're doing. Twitter captures what people are *thinking*, and that's genuinely new.

Twitter's value is its SMS interface. Friendfeed and Pownce miss this entirely. Without SMS, they're not real competitors, no matter how many people switch during outages.
