>[...] Twitter is the acquisition target of two separate companies, possibly Google and Facebook.

What's Google going to do with Twitter? If you want to comment on a youtube-video you'll then have to tweet? But with your real name and with some added characters at the end of your twitter-handle, because the algorithm says so.

Facebook has Instagram, which is way way way more popular and relevant than twitter.

I don't quite get how anybody still thinks that twitter can grow the same way as other social networks do?

Twitter has found its niche users: somehow web developers, designers and indie game developers seem to love it.

But if you have to explain to non tech-savy people more than 5 minutes why they should use it, then it's clear that it's not for everyone.

Celebrities have moved to instagram and once you've lost a user it's very unlikely that they'll come back.
