With a bunch of executive firings, missed deadlines, and slow user growth it’s safe to say that Twitter didn’t have a very good year last year. CEO Dick Costolo believes that this year will be much different, however, as the company is now in a position to begin increasing the revenue it receives from promoted tweets and expand into the gold mine of web videos.
