>Twitter had 255 million monthly users in March, a 5 percent increase from the previous quarter. It was the second quarter of disappointing growth for the service, and Wall Street was hoping for an increase in the double digits.
Growing at a rate of 12.5 million users per quarter is slow?
- ceejayoz 12y agoSlower than they'd like.
- capkutay 12y agoWhen you're valued at $20b+ with less than $1b in revenues, good/decent growth isn't good enough.
- dmcy22 12y agoNot a direct comparison, but when Whatsapp is adding 1 million users a day [1], 12.5 million per quarter doesn't seem like that much. [1] http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/20/technology/social/whatsapp-19-billion/ http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/20/technology/social/whatsapp-1...
- Alupis 12y agousers or people? I have multiple accounts... am I being counted multiple times? (probably). A growth rate of 12.5 million per quarter is not likely real people. However, say it is... then it's not sustainable because at a point they will be at terminal capacity, ie. everyone who wants a twitter account will have one. Then they will start to shrink as Facebook did last quarter (fewer signups than ever before).
