The only parallel I've ever seen to Twitter's current self-destruction was the Digg 4.0 fiasco.
At one time Digg had ~450 million users. Then they tried to push an extremely unpopular update that caused users to leave en masse.
Where did they go? Reddit.

Twitter could be Digg but on a much larger scale.
