It's nice to read your blog. Personally I don't think Twitter will become something more advanced. For some reason I like the Facebook model more than Twitter. Now its the peak of Twitter, but maybe not the same after around 2-3 years.

Now that marketers have embraced Twitter, it seems like everybody is tweeting and nobody is listening. Isn’t it possible that Twitter fatigue will set in and people will tune-out or leave for the next big thing?

First of all, I think we should separate two terms. Twitter and Microblogging. The term ‘Twitter’ is very often wrongly used for Microblogging. It’s the first thing I’ve noticed when I red this article and the comments.
The AOL comparison matches perfectly. Imagine at the time when, as an AOL user you just could email to other AOL user and vice versa. It was a walled garden and it took time till email became a way of communication everybody could use.
Same with Twitter. Twitter users just can communicate with Twitter users. Same for users of other microblogging services, and so on.
In the comments here I red alot about Twitter and which way it will evolve. When you look over to Laconica and its most popular service identi.ca, for instance, you see microblogging evolving: No walled gardens anymore! It doesn’t matter on which network your signed in because everything goes over the Openmicroblogging-Protocol. Just to let you know because imo this discussion ist too simple-minded ;-)

It will have a future…. as long as a revenue stream is found.

As others have pointed out elsewhere, it is Twitter’s functionality that will likely live on, after the app and company have faded. Embedding Twitter-like feeds into other kinds of sites (especially blogs), and making Twitter content portable and ubiquitous is what will lend it longevity. It has been described as “a feature, not an application.” I think that’s where its future lies.
