Twitter in Trouble?

Fortune Magazine wrote a piece in which it says that Twitter is in trouble. Among other things, the article points to slowed traffic to Twitter and declining numbers of active users, as well as trouble bringing in ad revenue and monetizing the platform. According to Fortune, the problems come from within.

The problem is a board and top executive team that don't always appear to have control of its wide-ranging cast of characters, including founders who have attained near-celebrity status (another co-founder, Biz Stone, is a regular on NPR, and earlier this year Dorsey was profiled in Vanity Fair), headstrong and divisive managers, and investors used to getting their way.


What do you think? Is Twitter in trouble? What do you think could be done to turn around some of these problems?
