Twitter, it's time to reinvent yourself! #rethink

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.
