Twitter Inc. sits at the center of American politics like no other company right now -- and yet the social-media service can't seem to profit from it.

Thursday, the company reported its 10th straight quarter of slowing revenue growth, up just 0.9% year over year. Its average monthly active users totaled 319 million for the quarter, up 2 million from the previous quarter.

Shares of Twitter dropped 11% to $16.67 in premarket trading.

Revenue in the fourth quarter, when political conversation and debate gave it new relevance, was $717.2 million, below analysts' expectations of $740.1 million, according to Thomson Reuters.

For the quarter, Twitter recorded a net loss of $167.1 million, or 23 cents a share, compared with a loss of $90.2 million, or 13 cents, a year earlier.

Yea, I was snickering at this in the morning when there was a market watch segment showing investors are worried about these tech stocks as profit makers.

I don't understand how the market seems to re-visit this issue every year as if the idea that as popular as these apps are, their potential for creating consistent revenue is shakey.

Nah. That's just Twitter. They peaked around 2012-13 in terms of growth and popularity.

Facebook is a much better bet and we'll established. Twitter is on a slow downfall. Even Instagram and Snapchat that are much newer platforms are already on pace each to surpass Twitter(if not already).
