If it's intended the way I think it's intended, then it's referring to a feature of booming web traffic, where the top of a big peak in month one is, by month three, the norm. And, of course, month three is also seeing peaks that will, by month six, be the norm. You get the idea... I think that's what he means. Perhaps Ross Mayfield, if he's reading, could explain further :) # Honest Man – I think “peaking” in this context means suddenly hitting lots of new highs.

That and because Suw's so prolific :) Started using Twitter very early on, but a combination of cost and volume of incoming messages made it a very disruptive experience on the handset so I turned the mobile service off.

I always thought that "peaking" meant reaching the highest point and beginning to head downwards? That doesn't seem to be the sense in which it's being used here? Can you enlighten me?

Sending a constant stream of "I'm back in the office" follwoed by "I'm going offline now for 16 hours" didn't seem like a compelling reason to sign up to me Twitter has kind of just passed me by because I haven’t been in a house with an internet connection for about a year now.

And I've always thought the @(username) was pretty much standard usage in all kinds of boards, forums and blog comments, so its not really that new at all. I've seen this being used for years to be able to clarify to which person and/or other comment you're referring to if there is no option for a direct reply. But I'm still not signing up. Don't have the time and get interrupted enough as it is. @Neil ;-)
