If someone has a lucrative business built on Twitter then someone will go after it, why not Twitter itself? It has investors and it’s under pressure to make revenues. It will go for the low hanging fruit first, and if that happens to be Seesmic or someone else, then it will. That’s the way the world works… But, it would be better if it acquired rather than cloned…

Without changing the fundamentals of the their business models that put member content creators and developers that add value to their services at the bottom of the pyramid….its ironic that twitter can sell access to the api to other companies (An api that is only valuable because members have added content) and not return any of this revenue to the members that have contributed the content..
In my view to be a “New Breed…” means a break away from the share cropping model and to move towards a model where content contributors and developers that receive an equitable share from the value that they have added

The telcos owns the fire hydrant (SMS) and the water supply (data) and you suppose to think the guy who spilling all the water in the streets for the kids to play is special, right?

I should point out however that we’re not an example of the danger you mention.

In contrast to an undercutting situation, our SuperList Channels were designed to utilize Twitter List meta-data. I can’t speak for other API users but Twitter has always been especially conscious of *not* adding features or making changes that would limit the success of our concept.

It’s a micro-blogging service. Get over yourself.
