And it’s just as I expected, this shoe has now dropped:

For those who don’t know, #ePrdctn is a running hashtag that eBook production professionals use for conversation and Q&As on Twitter.
If those participating in #ePrdctn see that Google+ can accommodate their conversations better than Twitter can, the exodus will begin for them.
And that’s how it will be with many, many other such groups that have organized on Twitter.
This is not something Twitter wants to happen.
Will they wake up in time to stop it?

I hope that doesn’t happen. I am on Google+ now and I find it promising but very raw. Never know. There might be a different use case for each. After all, Facebook and Twitter seems to coexist nicely.
I don’t think Facebook is the kind of threat to Twitter that G+ can be. As I said on Twitter, when people organize into groups, they become backbones of a service. If groups leave, services are left with trivia.
Google likes to mess around with technologies and services then yank them away when it realizes it can’t make money on them. After all, its free as in free beer.
Messaging is Twitter’s life blood. It’s not going to go away. Millions of people still have feature phones for which twitters are useful but G+ isn’t.
Twitter is also much more deeply embedded in iOS than Google+ will ever be.
Broadcast you mean. Conversations are really hard on Twitter. Also, iOS isn’t everything.
High-velocity conversations are impossible on Twitter now. But I have conversations all the time on Twitter. See the one about PDF Conversion Hell today I put on webdoc:
