“Normal People” Will Use Twitter In Five Years

Twitter co-founder Evan Williams predicts that Twitter will be something “that normal people do” within five years. He compares it to the early days of blogging (he was the founder of what became Blogger). When blogging started, most people didn’t get it and it seemed like a huge waste of time that only appealed to narcissists. Twitter gets a lot of the same criticisms, yet somehow more and more people find it a valuable mode of communication.

I still don't get Twitter, but I've been around there for a few months now, to try and figure out what's so great about it. Stuff like this Penny Arcade strip kind of scares me.

And it's also quite curious that on the same day this news comes out, I'm seeing a few of my friends starting to follow me on Twitter. I guess that no one wants to be just like "normal people"...
