But is the 90/10 ratio (or whatever it ends up being) a bad thing for Twitter? Well, it depends on what Twitter is looking to achieve. If your goal is an egalitarian media world driven by a virally explosive platform, this is bad news. But if your goal is to create the easiest to use publishing platform of all time, to empower more people than ever before to reflect on the world as it happens in real-time, and to have steady reader growth driven by the quality and impact of those reflections, it’s just fine.
