Twitter has already stated that those types of accounts will be marked as SPAM so how can people keep their accounts and yet tweet even their toilet trips? There will need to be a certain amount of "real" tweets or else you won't have an account to connect..

I think we need to be regarding Twitter as another infrastructure - like the phone line - capable of carrying 'voice' in the form of person to person Tweets' and 'data' in the form of software to software / software.

Once our tweets reach a certain percentage that are automated, people won't care to read them. If I don't have to logon to twitter or a twitter "deck" to post, why would I log on to read? - especially when all of your tweets are just posted by various objects you interact with? Ideally there will eventually be one status page that incorporates all of those statuses in one place - but we're not there yet. I talk about that in my previous blog post: http://www.dotcult.com/the-social-network-i-want Kristin, that’s part of the problem for twitter.

I was thinking along the same line last week. I have begun to add more applications to my phone that auto-tweet to Twitter and wondered how many more would be created. Then it would come to a point where we would no longer need to log onto Twitter to tell people where we are, what we are doing, what we are reading, eating, etc. This is a great article.

I've said before that if Twitter really wanted to make money, what they should charge for is access to the API.
