Are you serious? Why would you even post this? “Has Twitter peaked?” is the dumbest thing I've read all week.

According to this “methodology” Google has “plateaued” as well. Geesh.

You mean it peaked right about the time Twitter made its push into “immediate search” messaging? Could be an indication of Twitter's success there. How many people, for example, search the terms “Google”?
