According to The Telegraph, it is still quite US-centric and at an early stage in its development.

Technology pundits have predicted the site could make its content discovery system look a lot more like Flipboard, the popular social magazine app.

According to the report, the website currently has over 140 million active users who post more than one billion tweets every three days. (ANI)
