Social networking service Twitter reported a loss of $145m (\u00a386m) during the second-quarter period from March to June.<\/p>\n
That is more than triple the loss the company reported during the same period a year ago.<\/p>\n
Twitter said it had 271 million monthly users – up 24% from a year ago – allaying investor fears that the service is not growing fast enough.<\/p>\n
Shares in the firm soared over 35% in after-hours trading.<\/p>\n
