The one question that needs to be asked more frequently is this: Who are the people using Twitter? Spend all the time you want looking for the right business model, examining the architecture to ensure it is scalable, figure out why there are occasional interruptions (OK, this week more than occasional,) but the greatest asset going for Twitter is its community. I have written this elsewhere, but it bears repeating: The tech gurus, like Dave Winer, Robert Scoble, Loic Le Meur, Guy Kawasaki, David Weinberger, among others, are daily users. And they are gracious enough to interact with just about anyone. Twitter will succeed because it has the one thing many other startups do not: An amazingly talented and loyal base. Twitter will figure it out.

On of my favorite things about Twitter is when people link to their projects or ideas or cool sites that they find. I’m not talking auto-posting your blog feed. I confess I used to do that and I turned it off a while back. I have never found anyone who has something brilliant in every post and need to spam their followers.

Anyway, the thing I don’t like is missing those cool links. So I made a Twitter Link Monitor. Have a read: http://www.techlifeweb.com/2008/02/01/twitter-link-monitor/

The question is:

Where are Obie Fernandez and Rob Russel when you need them? Someone buy those guys a cape!

Oh that’s right, they are working!
