No. 1. Don’t follow celebrities and media outlets who don’t interact with others. 2. Don’t follow automated link tweeters. 3. Use a service to create groups. http://twitpic.com/3nofq

Twitter isn’t doomed. I follow between 5-10 celebrities (if you want to call former Star Trek actors celebrities) but they are not my focus. I follow folks from my area and some media and weather types among others
My daughter follows every tweenage celebrity, however, but that is the sort of thing she wants out of Twitter.
The only thing I’m worried about is if Twitter can keep up with capacity, but they’ve had issues with that even before Oprah.

I don’t think it matters how mainstream Twitter goes. Even though going mainstream ruins many things, the beauty of Twitter is that it’s so easy to completely ignore anyone. And, like you said, you use it the way you use it…others may use it differently.

There’s also the “get it” factor. Is the mainstream ever going to “get it”?
