What if Twitter is “already on its way down?” Why is that? What does this mean?

First of all, why the obsession with growth? I’m concerned that Evan Williams has “things in the works that will change” slow growth. Does this mean that expansion is more important than simply providing a simple, solid tool that works. As they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Secondly, I believe the platform still has a way to go before it matures. Twitter is still relatively young and its user demographic may well have been affected by the influx of users having heard about it in the mainstream media this year (think CNN, BBC et al.) As the drive-by pop users find the next new thing, attention whores realise nobody’s listening to them because they have nothing of value to say and the spammers & link pimps only follow eachother then Twitter should reach a stable base.

But, as you say, we can only wait and see what happens.
