There’s some interesting points in this article on The Next Web, but one thought that really caught my eye is that if growth stops, then Twitter may be finito in a year. I’m happy with where Twitter is now and what I get out if it, as I think many of the people I follow are. Comparatively, LinkedIn seems to survive on a smaller user base, but they likely planned for that. I speak from a user perspective of course, not from the point of view of those at Twitter HQ or their financial backers. It’s possible that may not be enough to sustain them.
But the other side asks, and likely the determining one, is Twitter happy? With their recent search deals, were Google and Bing purchasing the data, or buying into the potential for the future? But Twitter is relatively young, and Facebook’s had its share of dips in the past. Or is Twitter reaching its peak user base, and is that enough? Or do you think it will pick up?
