For me if it wasn't for Twitter, most of my websites would likely have half of the activity they currently have. Guess it didn’t take them long to get 10k followers.

I think everyones markets have shrunk and its a scary time to have someone as big and focused as Google throwing their hat in the ring. As you have pointed out, they are following a few start us. Could this mean they will look to buy out a few integral businesses and integrate them in to the Google fold? Yahoo has already done this with TotalTravel, (I wrote a full opinion about this on my site) but I dont see them suceeding with travel at the level Google will. Personally, it make me a bit nervous!
