I've searched for those stats too and I can't find them. Obviously if everyone around me used Twitter and it was all secure and good, of course I'd use that more.<br/><br/>cj<!-- Touched by JuLiA --> You’re quite right Saad, and thanks for commenting here.

I'm glad that you found my article interesting. :)<br/><br/>I agree, security is something that needs to be looked into. And I don't think twitter will have to go through much of a problem to ensure good security. <br/><br/>If we can receive bank statements, personal emails, passwords of various websites via Email and trust their security system completely...I think its just a matter of time before we'd feel the same way about twitter.<br/><br/>Extra layer of protection can built nto the system. Such as- a user might need to key in a 4/6 digit pin number with the DM as a signature.<br/><br/>And No, I don't actually have any stats to back that up. But I'm looking at these 3 things to make my assumption - 1. Rate of twitter's growth, 2. Growth of New Smart Phones (G1, Iphone) 3. More availability of Mobile Internet <br/><br/>So if a day comes when you have a twitter enabled phone on your hand and all your friends/family are using twitter, I don't think you would want to send that "SMS" ....<br/><br/>But anyway, this is only possible if they keep the service FREE. But if they choose a paid-subscription model then it will be a completely different story.<!-- Touched by JuLiA --> Hay. I’m glad that you found my article interesting. :)

So if a day comes when you have a twitter enabled phone on your hand and all your friends/family are using twitter, I don’t think you would want to send that “SMS” ….

But anyway, this is only possible if they keep the service FREE. But if they choose a paid-subscription model then it will be a completely different story.
