Hi Tony, I guess my thinking is that the best use of TW isn't in horizontal applications, but vertical. That is, there are certain topics that thousands of people are interested in. And thanks to that interest, there are already good applications. In those situations, TW would be, at best, an "also ran." But there are lots of niche applications where TW could shine. Unfortunately, by virtue of being a niche, there is also less interest to begin with. The trick is to find those areas of interest which are important and useful, but not being served well by existing applications.
