Twitter turns 10 but is still dividing people's opinions of social media

TEN years on from its foundation after “a day-long brain- storming session” in a San Francisco office, social media platform Twitter has come to something of a crossroads.
In February, it was widely reported that, for the first time in its history, its growth in users had stalled. Some 320 million people log in at least once a month. That compares to the 1.59 billion users Facebook boasted at the end of last year. Mainstream media talked of a crisis at Twitter and focused on the company’s dramatic fall in valuation.
