You can read the entire Metric System analysis here, but in short, there is no denial Twitter has had a huge growth in the last two years, however the growth and updates have dropped recently. This is due to a few factors: 1. Twitter does a good job deleting spam accounts and 2. In my opinion, I think most people don't actually understand what it is used for. They sign up because they heard about it on the news or think it will help lead to over night success. They make a few updates, refuse to learn the lingo and drop it because no one cared about their tweet. A lot of people are treating it like Facebook, which of course the platforms have similarities but are clearly very different. I think that twitter is here to stay, however, only the companies and services that actually have something of value to offer their customers and/or followers will survive on twitter. It will be the difference between reading The Economist and The National Enquirer. I recommend reading Vivek Wadhaw's article for clarity on why twitter is such a powerful resource and tool.
