Twitter reports Monthly Active Users as 310M [1] which, as far as I can tell[2], represents just logged-in users. I presume that Bloomberg would use the standard-ish term of "active users" to mean the same thing. Twitter also repo

But they aren't asking people which one they prefer. Some GM or product manager somewhere has goals to "increase engagement" which is probably naively defined as scrolling or clicking more. They need those metrics to go up to

Piwik is more of a Google Analytics replacement. It's a package that contains a data visualization platform, a data storage engine, and a data emitter (website tag) all in one. This is just a data visualization platform. You need to br

A text entry field on what? A browser? A native android app? A QT interface? What language is processing the text? Java? C? JavaScript? Where is the data going, what is the transmit format, what is the data store? Answering these questions
