It won't flop but Twitter isn't for everyone. Explosion is a relative term, Myspace and Facebook also went through explosive growth phases as people found out about them. I think Twitter will always be a niche service only because it doesn't offer the wide range of use options that Facebook does. Facebook will still be popular for the ability to share pictures, play games embed links and music.

Mashable recently published an article that says 60% of new Twitter users don't return after the first month. Are all those user who signed up to follow Oprah going to become engaged Twitter users, I think not. Many people try it out and don't see what all the fuss is about.
