Stronger-than-expected financial results pushed San Francisco-based Twitter sharply higher last week after the messaging service said revenue more than doubled in the second quarter. Twitter also grew its user base more than expected. Twitter posted a net loss of $144.6 million, or 24 cents per share. That compares with a loss of $42.2 million, or 32 cents, a year earlier. Adjusted earnings were 2 cents, beating expectations of a 1 cent loss. Revenue was $312.2 million, up from $139.3 million.
