Is #Tweeting Still Relevant in 2019? How to Navigate Twitter This Year
When Twitter launched in 2006, the platform challenged users to master the art of brevity in 140 characters or less. This character limit has since increased and as of 2017, tweeters can now say what they need to say in 280 characters. But even with all of Twitter’s neat benefits (immediacy, hashtags, trends, etc.), is the social media channel becoming less relevant these days? In the third quarter of 2018, the number of active Twitter users in the U.S. was about 67 million, down from 68 million earlier that year. This ebb and flow of followers isn’t necessarily unusual; over the last few years, Twitter has experienced slight rises and falls of number of users. Still, it is important to understand what may be causing the recent decline in user activity on Twitter.
