As a side note, I really enjoy seeing Google Trends information. I really hope this is one Google dont take from us.

And I'd love Google to build on their Public Data explorer. There is so much need and value for a business and the wider public for a central data repository that has good cutting and display options. And a business could easily pay for a private corner to link to these data sets. If this Public Data tool had been a bit further ahead I suspect it could have taken a chunk the massively growing space now being filled by Tableau and other BI solutions.

As much as we like to say bad things about Marissa Mayer (I don't know her in person so she might be truly awful in person I don't know) but she might have made the right call in buying Tumblr. I think Tumblr still has value. When the teens who use tumblr today become older, there might even be some emotional/sentimental value in Tumblr for them.

Interested to know how Twitter let their momentum tail off starting mid-2013. Does anyone know the missteps?

They did not make many missteps. Once the general public started using Twitter by 2013, they realized it's not for them, unless they were a celebrity.
