It's been a bad week for Twitter. With users taking to the platform to decry the introduction of a new algorithmic timeline -- a feature that turned out to be opt-in -- and share prices plunging, it's not looking good for the social network.
But what are the most worrying numbers for Twitter?

    I like Twitter, but they allow just such a short message.

      I figure that is its beauty.

      Enforces clarity.

      It all got stoopid when they added in the pictures an' it became a kinda feeble Tumblr.

      I really doubt they care much. Part of the reason their user-base is down is because they keep deleting millions of fake accounts. The stocks of these types of companies have almost nothing to do with how much income they generate so their stock prices are going to bounce around wildly. The stocks market capitalization is 10.85 billion at the moment. You can't be serious? It's basically a glorified text messaging service. It's just evidence that humanity is in a phase of existence where food and cures for disease are less valuable then communication technology. It's temporary I assure you, but it might take a few decades to even out.

    I'm debating on tweeting this news story or tweet I'm awake. The world has a right to know these things.
