There have been multiple stories in the news lately -- even on Download Squad -- about the huge percentage of blogs and Twitter accounts that have been briefly adopted and then abandoned. Some commentators have suggested that Twitter is a flash in the pan because of the large numbers of people dipping their toes into the service and then walking away without ever jumping all the way into the pool. All those one-tweet accounts represent curiosity about what Twitter has to offer, though, and in that sense, they're a good thing. News commentary site Slate has assembled a collection of interesting "one tweet wonders."

Blogs don't seem to be going away anytime soon, yet only 7.4 million of the 133 million blogs on the web are actually maintained. As a microblogging service and a publishing platform, Twitter should logically be putting up similar numbers. Certainly, the trend of Twitter growth will level off at some point, but I wouldn't be too worried about its health just yet.
