I think it's going to take a fine balance. Too many friends and it becomes an onslaught of noise. Too few friends and it 's just you talking to yourself. You see this on any social network. That's why they become viral, users go out and get their friends to join so they to can be cool. I think where Twitter wins out is that I only receive messages from the people I choose, how I choose; web, IM, SMS. I'm sure that just like on MySpace spammers will try and add me to their "friends". But that's where I (the user) have the power. I agree J. I think it’s going to take a fine balance.

It hasn't reached that tipping point or whatever where I'll defend it and use it every day (like Digg and MySpace have), despite its short comings (which there have been a lot of lately as Twitter struggles to grow with its new-found popularity). I like that I can yell out pretty much whatever I want pretty much where ever I want pretty much any time I want, but unless more of my friends get onboard and we use it for something quasi-useful, it probably won't stick. I am just waiting for spam advertisers to figure out a way to ruin it too, the bastards... Twitter is still at that curiosity phase right now for me.
