TWTR Twatted - Plunges 14%, Nears Record Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

"That's what happens Larry when the smoke and mirrors clear..."

 

Kitchen Sink? Or Moment of Clarity...

 

Near record lows...

Off The Lows... or 60% Off The Highs

*  *  *

And then there's YELP...

 

It seems 'eyeballs' once again are not what really matters after all.

I swear I've watched this movie before.  As I recall, most people hated the ending.

That social media field is packed with competition. And in Asia few if anyone uses twitter since they have their own stuff like 'we chat,' etc.....

 

Has to be tough in this market.

I reckon he would.  No worries once the chosen are firmly at the helm, Twitter will make a "Miraculous Recovery!"  Can't leave the Big Info. industry in the hands of ordinary

gentilemen.  Short it till Dorsey cries uncle, then scout for a "suitable" replacement, easy peasy.

It's amazing, isn't it?  I mean they didn't even put a different spin on it or anything.  Like an exact carbon copy of DotCom1.

Being an insider and making money off this shit must be so easy they don't even feel the need to invest in an updated narrative.

Look at the available returns on, oh, anything else.  Yes, it is so easy to make money off this shit.  It's not "like" shooting fish in a barrel, it is shooting fish in a barrel, exactly.  Until you've shot all the fish.  Then all you have is an unappetizing start on bouillabaisse.

Twitter has been censoring very actively and has lost many users for that.  Trutherbot who had more than 257K followers had his account shut down for tweeting that Khazars are not real Jews.

Last tweet before was banned: "Khazars aren't real Jews."

BTW, Zero Hedge has 270K followers on Twitter

Agreed.  And it would be easy to prove.  Make Twitter a subscription service.  Charge 1 cent per month per account.  Watch half of the user base vaporize the next day.

i have a twitter acct, but don't go on much cuz it makes me sick how most of them tweet and act like they are the center of the world.

Some times i wonder if any of them have a life. I mean i see so much "I am addicted to twitter"

i can't stand narcissistic type ppl.

and what i really find strange is that they brag about how many tweets they have like it is some sort of trophy.

I think there's real value in a micro blogging platform, but their execution has been a disaster.

There's no reason why Twitter couldn't move to a subscription based model based on various levels of service (including changing their retarded policy of limiting tweets to just 140 characters).

Say what you will about Twitter, it is by far the fastest, easiest, least time consuming way to get news.  Follow the sources you want and get news and information in one quick scroll.  Their censorship is definitely an issue though.

Have to imagine, most negative commenters have never used Twitter.  Bashing twitter without even knowing how it works is kind of the trendy thing to do, especially if you fancy yourself an anti-technocrat.  Personally, I see great benefit to twitter.  Cut my news perusing down considerably.  Its a personal news filter for those that use it properly.  Obviously plenty of self-centered twittering going on, but that is easy to avoid. Good example of good twitter: Zero Hedge's account...save the self-righteous BS for the Facebooks and Instagrams of the world.  Twitter could be a game changer if more people used it correctly.

It is mostly narcisstic idolatry and tabloid crap for people with short attention spans but I agree with what you are trying to say.  During the conflict last summer in Gaza and Donbass I was able to find some good sources that put out a lot of links to full articles on twitter.  Same thing with Yemen and Syria situations, it can be a really good starting point to find out more detailed information if one finds a good poster.
