I see a chance for Twitter to be around long term if it becomes the leader in establishing open standards that enable interoperability with its competitors. And no, this is not an oxymoron.

Based on observing the (admittedly somewhat short) history of the net, I don't think Twitter can survive long term if they insist on becoming the one and only funnel.
