Twitter’s stock price has fallen in recent months amid growing concerns that the microblogging site is losing steam among users and having trouble finding a mainstream audience. Here are some ways the social network is planning to stay relevant, competitive, and attractive to new members:

  • Site to be made more PalmPilot-friendly
  • Racial slurs no longer factored into available number of characters
  • Removing cumbersome password protection to help users sign into their accounts quickly and easily
  • Getting a few celebrities to use Twitter
  • 400 new followers gifted to anyone who doesn’t openly make the internet worse with every tweet
  • More powerful content delivery engine that allows users to tweet up to 5,000 times a second
  • The date users wished they had never joined Twitter now displayed alongside biographical information and location
  • Twitter employees encouraging family members to sign up
  • Users can now share Excel spreadsheets
  • Improving Twitter feeds by removing all exposure to thoughts and opinions of others
