Some facts about Twitter that you may not know and a conclusion you were not expecting. (Charts from MediaBistro).

–Twitter is the 4th largest social network worldwide, according to MediaBistro..although it's hard to believe that Twitter follows so closely on the heels of YouTube.

–Twitter has been stagnating for the past year, in the US, its home country, ie growth is only foreign (see chart on the right).

–And finally, Twitter's usage is astonishingly parallel in different countries and languages, according to the chart below.

–So, would the logical conclusion not be that Twitter as it currently is, is going to stagnate at 22% of internet users? You might say that that is not a bad place to be, and if we take the healthcare sector, where Twitter is booming, maybe there are niches.

But for a company quoted on the stock market, it isn't going to be enough…

Twitter has already undergone a transformation or two from the founder's original intents…And I think that more will be underway soon.
