Is Twitter Rendered Obsolete By Google+?

Posted by timothy on from the imitation-adoption-adaption-repeat dept.

suraj.sun writes with a ComputerWorld piece predicting the end of Twitter, at least in its current form. From the article: "It's only a matter of time before Twitter becomes a ghost town. While Google+ will soon do all the things Twitter does, Twitter can't support a long list of the things Google+ supports. Also on Google+, you can post pictures and videos directly in posts, launch immediately into a video chat, send your posts to nonmembers and even present all your posts marked 'Public' as a blog available to anyone with an Internet."

      An Internet is the currency used on The Internet.

      On the internet's black market, Lulz are widely accepted alternate currency.

      There is only one internet, it lives atop Big Ben. Occasionally the elders will let you borrow it, if you are able to sufficiently impress them.
