The average user doesn't care. The success or failure of twitter will be determined by what the average person feels about it. As the appstore shows, even if you piss the developers off, new developers are not going to stop with the platform just like that.

Not too many average users on Twitter from my experience. I've maxed out the local people that I follow and it's mostly automated news feeds (managed by tech folks) and other tech people in my field and related who are Tweeting.

Sure we can all pull out a story here or there of someone 'average' discovering and using Twitter, but I'm afraid my experience on the whole doesn't indicate that your Mom or mine will be using Twitter anytime soon.

Facebook? Now that's a whole different story.

I know about as many people who are on Twitter as I know people who aren't on Facebook, in other words very few indeed.
