Once people start suffering frequent service gaps, they're likely to find alternatives such as Friendfeed, and move on.

There is an opportunity for livestreaming bits of information; however $15 million only goes so far in working with consumers and maintaining their loyalty as other options present themselves. As I see it, there are several more-or-less inevitable spikes ahead that will severely tax their system:

(1) Major US weather disaster
(2) Major news event after widespread mainstream adoption
(3) Broad adoption by fantasy sports enthusiasts

I don't count things like the elections, Olympics or the holiday season in this because those things are predictable. The events that are likely to bring Twitter to a crawl are the things that are unpredictable and generate huge spikes. I mention fantasy sports because it's one of those things that causes headaches for giants like CBS and ESPN…and has yet to intersect the Twitterverse.

As I mentioned in my blog – when CB radio faded, it was replaced by a successor that we know very well today:

The valuation must be at least $100 million, that leaves a lot of income expectations.
