Is Twitter On A Decline Or Just Getting Started?

Did Kucher's (aplusk) race to beat out CNN (cnnbrk) for the first 1,000,000 followers and Oprah's (Oprah) first tweet, done live on her show, signal the apex for Twitter? The Google Tech Talk video below, Twitter WTF? - Why is Twitter Called a Threat to Google?, given by Laura Fitton, would have you believe otherwise.
Headlines alternately shout how Twitter is a Google Killer, and how it is a narcissistic flood of updates about what people you don't care about had for lunch. How can something that looks like noise from the outside be so compelling from the inside?

Laura Fitton - @pistachio - will explain how microsharing on Twitter and similar services can make the web feel warm and human, can give you real-time information on what customers think of you and why she hasn't bought anything over $50 without asking Twitter first.
