Is Twitter the Google of the Future?

This is definitely a question I've been pondering lately. It takes time for a technology to catch on, but sometimes you can see when one is definitely catching on and I'm about to make a bold statement and say that I believe Twitter or in more general, the "twitter model" is quite possibly the way you will search tomorrow. Afterall, Google has recognized that there's something here since when you do a search for just about anything, you will see the latest Twitter results in your Google search.

So is Twitter the next Google? While that of course remains to be seen, there are some striking evidences that it could be on it's way to becoming such.
