Twitter has wracked up 2.5B in losses over like 11 years. Only now have they turned a profit. That is a failure in the time frame of its existence. http://time.com/4241716/twitter-losses-twtr/

Twitter is almost certainly worth more today than their historical losses, making them a success.
Is it? The opportunity cost of that $2.5B is what to compare to. You could have acquired instagram for half that, for example.
