I was driving back home last night rocking out to a local rock station which is not all that unusual when my iPod touch runs out of juice.  What was crazy was the ad I heard from the radio station, paraphrased:

“quit your googling, facebooking, etcer-ing, and twittering…“ 

Lofty company! 

Granted I live in SF so this is not quite mainstream, but this is the first sign I’ve seen that clearly points to twitter breaking through.  I won’t even link to all the chatter about twitter being life changing (for a small set of people I think it is…jury’s still out for mainstream), or to the latest meme about friendfeed eating twitter’s lunch.  Why?  Well, I haven’t heard anyone say “friendfeeding” on the radio (yet). 

As much as twitter’s growth could suffer from their technical challenges they look to have a chance to become a verb.  I’ve had a mixed experience wrt twitter as I only follow a few close friends and have been occasionally pleasantly surprised by the assisted serendipity.  But not nearly enough to become an evangelist or hardcore believer. 

Update: Reading feeds right now and saw Dare has posted about about chasm crossing.
