Twitter released its fourth-quarter earnings this week, reporting that it had 288 million regular users as of the end of last year. That’s an increase of 4 million people from the previous quarter, which did not meet analysts’ expectations.

The company also reported a profit of $79 million, compared with a profit of $10 million a year ago.

Mike Regan of Bloomberg News speaks with Here & Now’s Peter O’Dowd about what these numbers mean for the social media service.
