CALIFORNIA: Twitter has added users for the first time in a year. The addition sees Twitter grow to 330 million monthly users, from 321 million in the last quarter, the company announced in an earnings release this morning. But that figure is still lower than its peak, of 336 million this same quarter last year.
Twitter has now at 134 million, up from 120 million a year ago and 126 million last quarter. On its earnings call, Twitter executives said multiple times that they’re focused on growing this stat, rather than the monthly usage figure, since it more accurately reflects users it can advertise to.
Facebook had 1.5 billion daily users as of the end of last year, having added 28 million in the fourth quarter alone. Snapchat had 186 million daily users at the end 2018. Instagram has 500 million people just looking at stories every day.
Twitter previously said its daily user count isn’t comparable to other social networks because it’s only counting monetizable daily users, and not daily users who don’t see ads. (Agencies)
