Instagram now has more daily active users than Twitter.

Instagram passed Twitter in mobile active users in August:

Instagram Twitter daily active users

Now Instagram has passed Twitter in total active users.

No wonder Twitter is trying to counter this by adding Instagram features to Twitter.

I believe Facebook now officially owns the 2 biggest smartphone apps:

Facebook and Instagram.

And Facebook is just getting started when it comes to mobile...

Also, looking at Quantcast, Tumblr now has 6.8 million daily active U.S. users.

Which could mean that Tumblr will pass Twitter in daily active U.S. users soon.

It really does make me wonder about the future of Twitter.

 Yet TC just wrote two articles on the same day calling the end of Facebook AND Apple.

Can we fire Techcrunch yet? They're worse than political pundits on cable tv.

The only TechCrunch I've read lately are articles you've stashed on PandaWhale.

For tech news Business Insider is the first place I look, and I like TechMeme too.

I just visited TechCrunch and thought it was pretty good.

What don't you like about it?

 I like TechMeme. I like TC too; BI is a good ref thanks for the info -- might start looking at them first.

Since they allow people to say whatever they want, some of their articles could use great reality fact-checking, copyediting, and better journalists.

TechCrunch values speed and quantity over quality.

If you want fact-checking and journalism, try Xconomy.

 Instagram has the fickle teen market... and the kids aren't really tweeting anymore.. they're all tumbling their instagrams.  Twitter _could_ win the kids back, but it's pretty rare for that demo to go back to something they've abandoned.

Looking at Quantcast, Tumblr now has 6.8 million daily active U.S. users.

So Tumblr is neck-and-neck with Twitter on U.S. daily actives.

On U.S. monthly actives, Twitter is 90 million and Tumblr is 60 million so they still have a way to go.

That doesn't sound like a pivot. It sounds like more of the same.

Am I missing something? A tool for a brand to amplify its tweets is not pivoting, right?
