Twitter won't go away for say 50-100 years. Why? There is value in the name/idea in the public consciousness.
Let's not forget that myspace, friendster, and livejournal still exist. There are a lot of pre 2000 sites and brands that are still sort of a live in some kind of zombie state or another.
Myspace has no impact on my life... Thats "close enough" to gone for my purposes, and I assume the author's as well.
I don't mine if there are people going around using tools that I don't care for, it's only when they're insanely popular beyond all cause do they exert social pressure on people who would prefer to not use them.
