Inactive accounts are currently being sent email notices to prompt users to login if they wish to keep their existing username. In a statement sent to The Mirror Online, Twitter said: "As part of our commitment to serve the public conversation, we’re working to clean up inactive accounts to present more accurate, credible information people can trust across Twitter. Part of this effort is encouraging people to actively log-in and use Twitter when they register an account, as stated in our Inactive Accounts Policy . This group of inactive accounts will be removed over many months – not all at once. Earlier this year the company revealed that they have 126 million daily users, a figure that investors found underwhelming due to it's main competitors, Facebook , revealing they have 1.2 billion daily users.
