Twitter reports $250 million first quarter revenue, 255 million users


    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Twitter Inc on Tuesday reported better-than-expected quarterly revenue of $250 million, as its mobile ads drew more viewer responses.

    There were 255 million monthly active users, up 25 percent from a year ago.

    TWITTER (TWTR.NY)Chief Executive Dick Costolo pledged in February to revive user growth after disclosing it had fallen to its lowest rate in years. Its shares have been trading 40 percent below their peak as investors wait to see whether the service could broaden its appeal.
