I think the real core value prop of Twitter is the niche communities people can build around their interests. It's about the interest graph. I posted this in another article on the front page today, but I'll do it here also. I think they need to double down on growing communities within Twitter. It's just too hard right now.

Here's my proposal:

What Twitter is lacking more succinctly is a thought pg expressed when talking about startups:

Better to make a few users love you than a lot ambivalent.

Twitter's strategy is to have lots of people to like it rather than to have a smaller group love it.

I really do hesitate to say this, but this looks an awful lot like IRC.

Twitter itself reminds me a lot of IRC actually, albeit with a fancy interface draped over it and a a low character limit.
