I seem to remember some debate over how uberTwitter comes out with such a large share in that analysis, but either way everything I have seen has pointed to 40% of tweets posted coming from Twitter.com. In my mind it would be smart for people to think about how to get market share from that piece of the pie.
I'm not sure I see a significant distinction between Twitter-only clients and clients that aggregate other services in terms of whether or not they are in competition with each other.
