Amazon.com? Yahoo! Messenger? eBay? Paypal? Yeah, I know, in comparison, the few that survive, there are many, many other that failed. Also, I'm not sure email is being replaced by Twitter and also IM will be replaced by Google Wave. Lifespan of online services no more than 3 – 4 years: Is Google Search, an online service?

It will go up if Mawi pulls an Ashton Kutcher stunt with a Mawi vs. that host on AF in "Ikut Mawi mencapai 1 juta 'followers'" - multi-lingual twitter is incoming right? It can also drop off when the vets get overwhelmed by the sudden increase in noise level and go "WTF, I'm outta here". Realistically, lifespan of online services can survive no more than 3-4 years. Already, email is being replaced by twitter to some degree. MySpace and Friendster, desperate to hold on to their existing users. IM soon to be replaced by Google Wave. And here are the other possibilities: 1. Twitter is sold to that company that buys up successful startups and starve them of innovation. 2. You have to start paying to use twitter. 3. Earth quake in California leaves Twitter HQ in a pile of rubble. 4. Freak of nature wakes up sleeping volcano near the Arctic, melting snow will raise sea levels pushing the ocean inland, submerging the entire West Coast. 5. Machines have developed Artificial Consciousness and are out to end the threat of human intervention - paging John Connor.
