Twitter is a good beginning

I think that a better way to think of Twitter is Spyglass, the browser that became Internet Explorer. We are still way early in the game.

Brightkite seems to be a better application than twitter. The new iPhone client makes it really great to use. I argue that we are still in the experimentation phase. There will be a better idea in the next couple of months. Take a look at CompuServe forums. They had lockin, yet where are they now? Lockin to proprietary social networks is never going to work, hence the business model really lies somewhere else.
