I’ve seen a lot of great write-ups about the lessons-learned of “Ashton vs. CNN” and “Oprah Joins Twitter!”  I’ve seen scores of Twitterati bemoan the Tipping Point which faces our beloved service.  The hordes are coming!

I’m not going to write anything to add to the overheated debate nor could I add more value than @ckEpiphany or Geoff Livingston and Kami Huyse.

I’m just gonna repeat what I said on Twitter:

It’s OKAY if “everyone joins Twitter.” You still only need follow your friends & allies. No one’s gonna *make* you follow @Oprah.

That’s the beauty of an opt-in service.

There’s more good news, though, which I haven’t seen mentioned by other pundits: with millions of new consumers joining Twitter, brands will have more incentive to set up listening posts in Social Media.
