The problem with Twitter is that they took way, way too much investment money. Now that we know what Twitter looks like, you could build it from scratch for much less. If Twitter dies because it's impossible to sustain the valuation their investors were hoping for, perhaps someone would build a less ambitious alternative.

Even though the magnitude is bigger, it could be similar to the Digg-Reddit saga. Digg was hyped as the next big thing, took too much money, made extremely risky moves and collapsed. and then collapsed. In the meantime, Reddit slowly built a less ambitious product that eventually replaced it.
