The Trouble With Twitter: With 241 Million Users, It Just Isn't Growing Fast Enough [STATS]

Twitter released its first ever earnings report yesterday and while the figures beat most analyst expectations, the stock dropped quickly in after-hours trade. Why? A number of reasons, but one of the main problems is that Twitter simply isn’t growing fast enough, certainly when it comes to active users.

Yesterday’s release noted that Twitter now has 241 million monthly active users (MAU), up from 232 million in Q3 2013. That’s quarterly growth of just 3.88 percent.
