Lately, Twitter is showing that it may not be as hot as everyone thinks. Shares for this social media platform are down almost 30% this year! This makes it the second worst media performer according to CNNMoney's Tech 30 index.
Many say that Facebook is becoming the new Myspace because of its decline in active monthly users, but that may not be the case anymore. With Facebook acquiring over 1.2 billion active monthly users, Twitter only has 241 million monthly users. With 540 million followers, even Google+ has more users than Twitter.
Twitter is also experiencing glitches in which tweets are mysteriously disappearing. One of Ellen Degeneres’s most famous tweets during the Oscar’s vanished, but then magically reappeared early this week.
Everyone who is a part of Twitter has seen Ellen Degeneres’s tweet of the night from the Academy Awards. This photo stating “If only Bradley’s arm was longer. Best photo ever. #oscars”, consisted of Ellen herself, Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and other start studded celebs.
Writer for The Buzz, Paul R. La Monica claims “After all, the Academy Awards telecast was more like a three-and-a-half hour infomercial for Twitter than it was a celebration of the best movies of 2013” (2014). Unfortunately, even Ellen could not save Twitter from its demise.

This is the total opposite of what i would think, i love twitter but never use Facebook anymore. I will say for one thing that the only reason Google+ has so many users is because they literally make you subscribe if you want to use any of their gadgets.
