I don't think we have discovered its best use yet. Twitter also evolved and improved according to how users use it. Of course when Twitter was launched there were very few social/collaboration platforms out there, and the early adopters flocked to it quickly. Traction is a now problem with Google Wave, especially when even the geekiest early adopters are not excited about it.
