Twitter is growing slowly

In a minor case of bad news for the social network that’s about to go public, the numbers coming out of Twitter’s IPO filing shows growth that is relatively anemic this year.

Twitter has a growth problem.

The company reported more than 215 million monthly active users in its S-1 Filing on Thursday. At the bare minimum, that means that as of June 30, the company has added on average only 15 million monthly active users since the company hit more than 200 million late last year.
