Twitter’s Growth Rate Is Tiny Compared to Facebook

Facebook added almost as many users in the last three months of 2014 as Twitter added over the entire year

Twitter’s growth problem is well-established. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the platform added just 4 million more monthly active users, which equates to growth of just 1.4 percent.

Over that same period, Facebook, which is already four times the size of Twitter, grew 3.1 percent.

Indeed, Facebook has added almost as many users in the last three months of 2014 as Twitter added over the entire year.

This phenomenon is nothing new. In the past two years, Twitter has added just 84 million users to its network.
