Twitter encourages 'verified' users to stop posting photos from Instagram

Twiter has encouraged Mega-stars on the social media site to post images directly to twitter instead of linkin it to instagram as it move the sites users from twitter to instagram, After the annual user figure count instagram showed a 300 million active users whereas twitter remained at 284 million, i has updated the site to be more like instagram adding the ability to use photofilters and has even allowed users to post 4 picture at once. A new feture will also be added called 'Native Video' which will allow users to record videos directly from the twitter app.

Instagram announced that it had more than 300 million active users in December 2014

Twitter’s most recent milestone of 284 million.

Twitter should look in to more unique ways of updating it's site to re attract the old users by providing them with a different form of service rather than trying to make itself more like other apps. This will enable twitter to gain more active users as they will want to at least try the new and unique feature.
