>The Silicon Valley obsession with endless growth is harmful sometimes
There's healthy ways to grow, and unhealthy ways. I agree with you that twitter (the company) needs to be happy with the size of twitter (the product), but that doesn't mean the company needs to stop growing. There's plenty of opportunities to leverage the technology stack and the userbase of twitter to get into other markets and allow growth to continue. Their future growth is not in getting more users to sign up for the twitter microblogging service, it's in other products like Vine and Periscope (and potentially a longer-form writing integration like has been rumoured)
- AznHisoka 11y ago.. both are which are tightly integrated into Twitter. Hardly anyone browses Vine.. they view Vine videos through Twitter.
- notatoad 11y agoDo you have numbers to support that? I'm not more than a casual user of twitter or vine, but anecdotally it seems like lots of people browse vine.

What on earth use is growing 2 more different sharing networks when your first sharing network is at capacity and isn't pulling it's weight and bringing the money in.
