If you haven’t yet assimilated and joined the Twitter party you might want to hold off.  It seems just as you might be feeling the pressure to succumb and be part of the new social networking frontier, many folks are jumping off the bandwaggon.

According to a study conducted by eMarketer, Twitter’s demise might come as quickly as shockingly fast ascension into mainstream culture.  The study quotes Nielsen research that indicates that traffic to Twitter.com was down 27.8% between September and October 2009 falling to an estimated 18.9 million unique visitors.  This despite news from the same source just 4 months earlier indicating Twitter had experienced an unfathomable 1043% increase in users in the then past 12 months.

But like with anything new a cool…its only en vougue until everyone joins the party.  And literally everyone…has joined the party.  Not only has every mass and micro media outlet used Twitter often times improperly to disseminate information but Corporate America has got her clumsy paws all over the network.

What once was an exclusive club for tastemaking info starved tech savvy youth has become information gridlock 140 characters at a time.

Twitter and cutting edge technology is almost like the your favorite underground artist.  When you’re part of that exclusive few who subscribes to it, its the coolest thing in the world but once it grows in popularity reminicent to when you first heard your mom humming 50 cent lyrics.  Time to abandon ship.

Its not so much that Twitter Fans have abandoned the platform.  They’re just not spending as much time on it any longer, instead chosing to spend their time searching for that next great social technology frontier.
