  Could I ask you to point me to the part of the report that shows that Twitter reach in Sweden was at an all-time high this year? My Swedish isn't great, so I'm having trouble finding it.

  So the question asked was: > Question: What social networking sites/social media have you used in the past 12 months? And it is noted elsewhere that the survey was taken before the rebrand in June. So I don't think this _actually_ tells you as much about Twitter in 2023 as the title implies. What this really says is that more people claimed to have used Twitter in 2022 than in 2021, maybe with some overlap into 2023 at the edges. Of course, it also says nothing about the nature of that use. Anyway, that's irrelevant, as I didn't say Twitter is dying, I said: > the death of Twitter as a semi-reliable place to put status updates I absolutely stand by that; again, it is showing random incidents from the last four years in random order on their status twitter unless you're logged in. That makes it clearly unusable for status updates. I would not, by the way, that even if it meant what you thought it meant, it would not be _great_ evidence against the death of Twitter, in that it's scoped to a single country. On that basis, you could claim that Orkut, or Bebo (depending on country chosen) was the dominant social network of the late noughties.
