Twitter - future - if any ?

The Iran crisis put some spotlight on Twitter. Getting in touch quickly is a good thing. I still don't understand why the Iranian government has not been able to shutdown quickly access to it.

Anyway sending small messages has an interest, but why should it be on a different service than a 'normal' blog. Of course the short format help reading on mobile access, does it means we will have two separate cyber world a short and a large (screen oriented). Does it mean the apparition of a kind of Novlang posting as for the sms (most of them being non sense in my opinion). I think there is a need for micro-blogging to converge with other tool.

Also the twitter business model fall short.

I am not alone to think about it : http://www.webguild.org/2009/06/twitter-will-be-obsolete-in-a-year.php
