    Is Twitter Dead?

    Andy Carvin, formerly of NPR and now of Reportedly, posted a link on his Facebook page to a Medium article by Umair Haque, where Haque discusses why he thinks Twitter is dying/dead. In the above video (via Blab.im), I discuss my thoughts on the future of Twitter and Haque’s article.
