If you work it out yourself there's only one graph that hints at a peak. The rest seem to be trending up.

You wish to deactivate your Twitter? Was your account defective?

"Michael Cole is on it! You can't get more defective than that!".

Is "peaked" urban slang for "always been retarded"? If so, then yes.

Especially when they switch meanings halfway through the article.

It was like reading a paper drafted by a grad student.

Just a guess, here, but I believe after Facebook's IPO in the spring, their stock price will crash, and people will go back to email and AOL Instant Messenger, as well as Twitter.

I almost stopped using Facebook entirely, am on G+ with a bunch of like-mined geeks.

I see enough family at July 4th, Thanksgiving and Christmas, thank you.

This,

I really don't see a point to Twitter. It offers absolutely nothing a site like Facebook doesn't already have, and misses out on everything except updates. Why have two sites/profiles for the same thing? Maybe I need to start sizing myself up for an onion-belt, but if I can have a site where I can view pictures, schedule events, chat in real time, promote a show, etc, AND show my "status"...why would I also have a site where I can only update my status...?

It still baffles me how it became popular when Facebook was already doing everything Twitter could do, and more, better. And Facebook still does it all better.

Fark is still on Twitter.

well, i think when twitter actually came to be, the "what are you doing" thing was new. i don't think facebook really had it yet, and myspace was still in use by people. but now that facebook has pretty much devoured myspace and become THE social networking site (fark google+, its only draw is that it ISN'T facebook) twitter is simply redundant and pointless. i guess i just don't get it.
