    At it’s height there were twitter accounts for something like 1/4 - 1/3 of the population in most developed countries. That is huge, but it was never the universal adoption that heavy users seemed to think it was.

    It generated/generates news because it’s easy to see and short enough to digest quickly, not because it’s a representative sample.
