In the clip above, he predicts that <MASHLOGIC mashbutton="qAmfVSP6OWDmUwSYjxPLFA cO1dd1z1VXztJV1c4GPg_A" li-term="Twitter" class="mashlogic mashlink-wikipedia mashlink-jobs-by-simplyhired" title="MashLogic: Wikipedia, Jobs by SimplyHired">Twitter</MASHLOGIC> will be something “that normal people do” within five years. He compares Twitter to the early days of blogging (another topic he knows something about, having been the founder of what became Blogger). When blogging started, most people didn’t get it and it seemed like a huge waste of time that only appealed to narcissists. Twitter gets a lot of the same criticisms, yet somehow more and more people find it a valuable mode of communication. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/03/02/evan-williams-predicts-that-normal-people-will-use-twitter-in-five-years/"><P>Hopefully, it won’t take five years for Twitter to seem normal. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EB0C6B96-0813-41FC-834A-651DC98FE880/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
