Is Twitter Dying?
While searching around Delicious I came across this article talking about Twitter and it’s recent activity. According to QuantCast, Twitter’s unique visitor count has flat-lined for the past 4 months. Twitter CEO has even taken note of this occurrence, meaning this may be something serious that Twitter is looking at. However, nobody has really been able to pinpoint exactly why this drop in unique visitors has happened. Twitter has been mainstream for quite some time now, with celebrities and companies joining twitter all the time. People should be joining all over the place, but for some reason it has just stopped for nearly 4 months. Some may blame it on being too “geeky” for many, while others just simply enjoy Facebook, feeling that Twitter is just a stripped down version of it, making it pointless to use. Many predict that it is just a rough patch for Twitter and that sooner or later they will fall out of it. Again, an article like this goes along with when we talked about socialmedia and its influences. There are only so many articles I can find on FCP before they start overlapping, so I’m forced to go back and write about socialmedia which is always changing. This is interesting to me because to me it seemed like Twitter was getting huge and I was not expecting to see that their numbers had stalled for the past 4 months.
