Twitter official claimed that they will take necessary measures, asking investors not to give up on them. Executive Chairman Omid Kordestani said that their work will need more time.


Twitter stock in the capital market also 2.5 percent short from analysts' projection. Vice President and Lead Analyst with Outsell, Randy Guisto, said that Twitter is having a difficult time in breaching India and Cina, failing to compete against WhatsApp, Apple, and Google.
