The problem I see with Twitter and the reason it stagnated and isn't making money, is they don't really understand their platform and users.

Flip that with Snapchat who 100% do know their users and converting them into customers.

What does converting users into customers mean for snapchat? What are they selling?

I'm pretty confused by that as well. Isn't Snapchat making their money off advertising primarily? I know they have plans to expand the kind of user data they track (including "browsing and searches beyond the app").

Hmm, do YOU understand Twitter's platform and users? If you have some cool insights into those things then I'd love to hear them!
