I’m normally a very techie type person but I really have yet to see the value of twitter, except to waste my txt messages.

Atleast i would pay a dime.
And hope atleast 10% of those who said they will pay will actually end up paying for it (if it becomes a paid service).

Monetization on the web is still a tough ask. I always go back to Usa.Net and its foray of making web mail paid only. Everyone was sitting around to see if they can pull it off we too will follow. Had they only coopted and acted together, maybe we would have been in a reasonably priced web mail world .

I don’t think most people would pay to use Google, let alone Twitter. Net ppl have a sense of entitlement that says hey I paid for my computer and my monthly connection so the rest of the web is free. As long as there are people willing to work for free out there, who’s going to be the first to charge?

Its a simple microblogging tool that caught the attention of people and business at the right time. Its not complex, it just requires a large server capacity (and even without, people still use it).

I hope they do start charging so I can create a similar service for free. Why wouldn’t users start using my free service over Twitter?

horribly written survey as many have mentioned no option for <$5 a month. Bad research leading to bad results. Re run the survey the same but with a <$5 a month option. You will have much different results, and a much richer result set.

They should build Twitter for enterprise where the company downloads (by paying) for the service and hosting it on their servers.

In my opinion, that is the way forward for Twitter and competitors.
