While a general top board might be far too broad, I *could* see a lot of use / interest in more specialized / niche subject verticals. That direction is where I see a lot of excitement / potential in dwigger. I can see where you're coming from, Adam.

I can't imagine it appealing to anyone ever - not now or in the future. The problem has nothing to do with the technology running the site. I think the content on Twitter is simply to broad reaching and unfocused for there to be any value in trying to structure and thread its content.

Then there's also the factor that Twitter may decide to shutoff its data fire hose or, say, charge fees to access it (biz model, anyone?). <br><br>I don't think any of these scenarios will happen for the foreseeable future. Louis Gray has a piece from the last day or so showcasing that Twitter is continuing to grow even in the face of technical woes (now mostly in the rear view, we think) and increased competition.
