As we once discussed, goodbye dial tone, hello notifications.

Ravi, Thanks for the additions, we’re on the same planet when it comes to using global identifiers. Twitter has given more control to the user for theirs (via developers) than effectively anyone else.

There’s real value in looking further at the “identifier” model that Twitter almost finds themselves in now. Push needs to be under the users control. Similarly, filters.

Great article! I liked the way you narrated the whole futuristic technology. Off course, phweet will change the communication paradigm. Twitter as a global notification platform is gone happen.
Here are some additional points to think off
1) Twitter username as a global user identifier.
2) All communication like sms, mms, email and voice happens via this global identifier
3) Twitter the new communication platform

From an acquisition standpoint; Sorry Apple, I don’t see the synergy. Google or Microsoft makes lot of sense. These companies can exploit the power of twitter. All that said, I still wish twitter goes all the way alone and unleashes its power.
