What people are saying about Twitter's earnings - on Twitter

Twitter reported a nearly doubling of its fourth quarterly revenue to $479 million, beating Wall Street expectations. The online bulletin board now has 288 million monthly active users, a 20% jump year-over-year. At the same time, it lost nearly $125 million. But investors liked what they heard, sending Twitter’s shares (TWTR) rising 12% in after-hours trading.

On Twitter versus Facebook:

From $TWTR earnings report, easy to see that @twitter has a business & it will become a good business, but it won't be a ginormous like $FB.

On growth (and criticism that it’s not fast enough):

Twitter's job, yet again, for upcoming conference call: Convince Wall Street they don't have a growth problem, even though #s say otherwise.
