I think the stock dropped big time since it was started but it seems to have stabilized and is inching up slowly. With so many people using it, especially the President, there has to be a way for the company to make money. I saw how Facebook tanked at first before zooming up. Is there hope for Twitter to do something similar?
Personally I don't use or like Twitter but I see its value. Like anything else they need to increase their content.
Their problem has been how to monetize the product. Twitter isn't like facebook necessarily. When I bought it I thought what the OP did. EVERYBODY uses twitter and now the leader of the free world 'lives on it'. They need to figure out how to get ad dollars, pay per view or some other way to make money on it.
I don't have a twitter account :(
Compare that to facebook who over the same period added 500 million users to bring their total to 2 billion. So unless twitter figures out a way to engage new users or monetize the crap out of them, the stock will continue to languish.

Not to mention that a sizable, non-zero percentage of "active users" are actually bots that instantly reply to tweets. Many services are out there that let you pay for essentially fake followers.

because twitter's power isn't in the amount of users but rather it's power to be a real time search engine.
