Couldn’t agree more, and said the same thing to Technorati about a hundred years ago, before they became redundant. Twitter, and I daresay Facebook and even Google are just good enough to be able to ask money. And I’d willingly pay it, like I do for top Mac apps, Flickr, Plaxo, etc…

I’d be open to ads, but not paying. I admit to be heavily reliant/addicted to Twitter, but I could unplug and move to Pownce/Jaiku/Friendfeed and even Facebook if I needed to.

I’d pay for Twitter, or a similar service, that had the appropriate reliability (I know they are working on it) and feature set (not quite there yet for me).

I’d also tolerate SMS advertising (but I’m a little biased to wanting to see that business model work) so a partnership with 4INFO would solve that.

Monetization at Twitter is a matter of deciding which path makes the most sense to the community & the company and then pulling the trigger.

Twitter is useful and addictive but I’m not sure I’d be willing to pay for the current version unless they would refund me for the down times. Mind you, I don’t think they could afford that business model…

I think we’re going to cross the $4/gallon mark on Thursday in southwest North Dakota, and then it will be $60 to fill my Grand Am. That being said, despite all the convenience my car provides me, it doesn’t help me, inspire me, or impact me the way Twitter does. I would gladly pay a reasonable rate for Twitter.

Michelle, first and foremost, thanks for the shout out! Thank you also for joining the conversation on my blog. It’s good that other voices are being hear on this. You said it best:
” After all, the number one commodity of Twitter is its community – the people.”

They’re nothing without us.
