Jeremiah recently held a competition asking everyone one question
I’ll be giving it away to who bests answers the following question: “24 months from now, where will Twitter be? What will Twitter look like, how will we use it differently than today?”

Apparently there was several entrants to the event and 8 finalists when Andrew Finkle surged past everyone with this theory for Twitter in 2 years and I must say its a good one. Identica are you taking notes?
Twitter will look more like an operating system in 2 years. The Majority of its users will not even have to go to twitter.com to use the service. Twitter will instead be the platform whereby others embed twitter functionality directly into their own applications. As a result, Twitter will be different things, to different people.
For some, the twitter OS will allow them to join a social network on the fly. This might be based on the location of a tweet, the content of the tweet, the profile of the tweeter. Some Tweeters will not even be human, they will be anyone or anyTHING.
A Tweet will be whatever one wants it to be (not constrained by 140 characters of text)..A Tweet might be multimedia, voice, video, etc.
The truest value of Twitter will be how it allows one to broadcast whatever (voice, video, data), to whoever (followers, family, friends, readers (a better RSS), however (via browser, sms, email, etc) Twitter will be one of the most valuable net properties (along with Firefox)…why? Because they are OPEN. They ARE the ecosystem.

What my question is to all of you is what do you think of Andrews winning answer? Would you agree, disagree or is he way off swimming in shallow water?
