things this big rarely fail instantly, it's usually a long slow decline

either way none of what's being done or talked about recently makes me want to start using twitter, maybe they will figure something out i guess

Yeah I've no idea how Twitter works or what kind of fires they have to put out on a day-to-day basis, or what other things grow - so I wouldn't dare to make any rash predictions like that. My thinking is that even if Twitter had double the headcount they needed, it'd be really tough to axe that many people without firing or turn away the people needed to put out those fires.

And yeah if you weren't a Twitter user before, you're probably not signing up at this moment in time :)
