(This is getting long, doesn’t it?)

One more point to analyze the future of Mitter: The Alternatives.

Right now, the space that Twitter fills is getting crowded. Not that Twitter was there first, but it surely is the widest, most recognized service in the area. And, most of all, I’ll list one the ones I have an account.

Still in the line “What will happen to Mitter now that there are more options around” let me say that one of the things that are driving me back from Twitter development (or, better saying, developing Twitter applications.) is the community of developers.

When I started Mitter development, as usual I decided to lurk around the Twitter Development Talk, a list created by the Twitter developer themselves to talk about the directions of the API and the service. Long before Twitter became the synonym of “it doesn’t scale”, the discussion was always productive, with very small traffic. But it went really downhill after that.
