I’ll be convinced of twitters demise only when I stop hearing about twitter 9 times a day.

I remember waiting for Facebook to evaporate a decade ago too. Then I started hearing “Facebook” in the news every night and saw the logo on the back of Sugar packets at the cafe.

If anything - this is the biggest “no press is bad press” experiment of all time.

Yeah, when the primary complaint about Twitter is "other people are using it to say things I dislike", then that seems like a pretty.. motivated critique of the platform.

Facebook never evaporated… but it did become _irrelevant_. Nothing _happens on Facebook_, or at least no-one cares about what happens on Facebook.

I find Facebook groups good for my niche interests. I stopped using Twitter, though.
