It isn't just Moments, Twitter is failing on a lot of fronts.
* Spam bots that are way obviously spam still make it through, and some days constitute the majority of my new followers. (These are not subtle spam bots, but rather accounts that come in groups of 4 or 5 all using the same strange URL shortener.)
* Moments seems to be what was previously codenamed "Lightning" if that's the case, I'm super disappointed. Not even close to the "game-changer" I had heard about.
* The direct message limit was raised, thankfully, but honestly a little late. I've actually had DMs like "Hey let's switch to GChat" because it was just to communicate and use their site for more than anything tiny.
* People in this thread are already talking about stale content on Moments. The last few times I've logged into Vine, it still highlights the VMAs—which happened in August.
* I used to be OK with the Ads in my Twitter feed, but they've gotten to be too often and too out of touch
Put another way, Paul Graham once mentioned that a mark of something great was when you can't imagine the world without it anymore. The example he gave was with HelloFax. If Twitter went away tomorrow, I'd say, "meh," and move on.
