For users with large numbers of Twitter followers, the service has become irrelevant. Is this the beginning of the end for the short message service we have allegedly loved?
I listened to your vblog and there i no segment wherein you supplied any numbers to justify this introduction to your vblog:
"For users with large numbers of Twitter followers, the service has become irrelevant".
There is no mentioned of twitter users with large numbers of followers who have come out and declared the microblogging service irrelevant to their respective brands.
