As your post obviates, all they have is their user-base; the worst thing they could do is alienate them. If I were Twitter, I'd be spending big money to make the platform as stable and open as possible. This would cement Twitter as "the micro-blogging platform" for the foreseeable future. Don't know if it'll happen, though. I think the big mistake Twitter could make right now is to delay fixing their infrastructure in any way.
