Several blockchains have messaging functionality, a Twitter-like platform would be a pretty easy step from there, especially for Ethereum. The only potential problem would be the need to pay gas to tweet, which, I highly doubt anyone would be willing to do that. But judging from the (relative) success of Twitter itself, I have to imagine someone will soon try to imitate it in the blockchain space.

That's why Ethereum has the Whisper protocol, so messaging doesn't cost but can be used in tandem with the blockchain.
