Buzzfeed has an interesting article up about the history of Twitter and why it has such a big problem.
"A Honeypot For Assholes": Inside Twitter’s 10-Year Failure To Stop Harassment
If you're in a hurry, here's the highlights

• Conflicting free-speech ethos and celebrity needs
• Too many white males in leadership
• Inability to effectively deal with trolls
• Too focused on revenue targets
• Lack of focus on the product
• Constant rotation of leadership that nothing got implemented
• Letting the brand stagnate due to not stopping the trolls in time and the ISIS beheading videos
• Leaving it up to the average users to deal with trolls.

This picture, though. The little tweeter is saying 'help!'
