Some of the metrics about how many users are active and produce a certain % of the content are somewhat irrelevant and are not a sign of downfall. In nearly every social network I've studied with the Web Ecology Project (http://webecologyproject.org http://webecologyproject.org) we've roughly seen that the top 10% of users create 90% of the content. This is true for everything from HN to Facebook.
It was a super easy story in 2009 to praise Twitter. It got people reading the articles and sold copies/advertisements. The news like stuff that is new. Now its time for them to step up to the plate and continue on with having an awesome, useful and sustainable service and company.
