Upon careful reading of Twitter’s API Terms of Service, I have decided to delete this blog post. Specifically, it may be in violation of item 4.C. below:
4. You will not attempt or encourage others to:
A. sell, rent, lease, sublicense, redistribute, or syndicate the Twitter API or Twitter Content to any third party for such party to develop additional products or services without prior written approval from Twitter;
B. remove or alter any proprietary notices or marks on the Twitter API or Twitter Content;
C. use or access the Twitter API for purposes of monitoring the availability, performance, or functionality of any of Twitter’s products and services or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes; or
D. use Twitter Marks as part of the name of your company or Service, or in any product, service, or logos created by you. You may not use Twitter Marks in a manner that creates a sense of endorsement, sponsorship, or false association with Twitter. All use of Twitter Marks, and all goodwill arising out of such use, will inure to Twitter’s benefit.
E. use or access the Twitter API to aggregate, cache (except as part of a Tweet), or store place and other geographic location information contained in Twitter Content.
I want to emphasize that Twitter has not asked me to take this blog post down! I don’t know that it violates the letter of item 4.C., but I think it violates the spirit of that clause, so I am removing it.

I think that user growth may not return to the levels it once was as we move off the peak of the adoption cycle, but the new metric that should be considered is tweet volume. Are the current users incorporating Twitter into their lives? As long their is still significant volume and tweet growth, there will be business value available. The question is how your business needs to connect with it.
Thanks for providing the graphs.
You're asking me to write another blog post, aren't you?
But seriously, what people pay attention to for a first approximation is growth and market share, measured in dollars per unit time and dollars, respectively. What we get externally from most tools, like Compete.com and from my samplings, are raw Internet metrics.
