Happy 5th Birthday, Twitter

I initially hated Twitter and remember a friend saying ‘it’s a fucking away msg’ about it. I agreed at the time. How wrong I was. If they find a way to maintain simplicity (e.g. low barriers to entry for users) while still promoting user innovations (could you have predicted that the word hashtag would be commonplace five years ago?) I think Twitter will grow and grow and grow and will sell for a boatload of $ or IPO at a way higher valuation than LinkedIn.
