Since Flash is being threatened by Javascript, it looks like Adobe is being forced to band together with another threatened company (Facebook being threatened by Twitter).

I'm on the side of twitter + javascript to win this one - but overall it will make an interesting tag team match.

Yeah Twitter has no chance of threatening Facebook.

I'm not a Facebook fan but Facebook is making at least some money, allows much more than just 140 (?) character message broadcasts and has a lot more users with a much more diverse market share.

You realize that's just a matter changing the value of ONE constant right? (no comment about the fundamental changed to the twitter identity)

ONE constant would give Twitter market share among non-geek people (e.g. grandmothers, parents, teenagers alike), applications capacity, photo sharing, video sharing and revenue?

Correlation does not imply causation.
