I don't think it is at its peak, its only just being taken up by a more mass market, though I think there will be other social media apps that will try and steal its crown this year.

It would be an excellent way of getting more people to this forum!

I'm trying out tweetdeck which allows you to create groups. Anyone I'm not sure I want to follow goes into one group, anyone who outputs a lot goes into another group, etc. etc.

I joined, used it for a bit, but I find it tiresome. I have built up some followers without doing anything. Some I recognize but others I don't

I would much rather put my energies into occasional UKBL responses rather than twittering away into the unknown all day long distracting me from the stuff that actually earns the money.

I keep reading that twitter has peaked and that it will soon be replaced with google contact or something so I have made a conscious decision to leave all this to those that enjoy it in 2009

Having said I would leave it alone, I found a plugin for my wordpress blog that shows my most recent posts on twitter.

I have installed it and wait to see if it keeps me focused enough to update it two or three times a day. I wouldn't like to see my blog inactive

Other than that, it hasn't demonstrated any other use. The whole follower/following thing is totally ego-dominated and it only takes following 2 people who put out 10 tweets a day to render the rest of the people you're following practically invisible.

Having said that, as a 'news headline' feed, it's great!
but perhaps you need to use tweeterdeck.
