“Twitter has ‘lost the attention battle,’ said Paul Berry, founder and CEO of RebelMouse, which helps publishers amplify their content on social. ‘Five, 10 years ago, there was a lot of emphasis building Twitter followings, traffic. For new media companies, Twitter is the afterthought and the side job. It used to be one person on Facebook, one person on Twitter, and now it’s three people on Facebook and half a person on Twitter. We don’t see any media companies on our platform who are either having success driving traffic on Twitter or have that as a goal anymore.'”
