in principle yes, but it's a flawed idea, after all what's the point of you being up if all of your contacts are offline.... - Duncan Riley

Probably not - would be happy with ads tho - Silverbrow

More than likely no, although it would really depend on what feature(s) paid members receive that would be the determining factor for me. - Scott Jarkoff

if i would own it then ... - kosmar

No more than I pay for Google or Wikipedia - Jill O'Neill

Probably not. Especially if there are other comparable services available. - Bryan Clark

No, because all of my friends would go somewhere else, and then no matter how small the fee, it wouldn't be worth it. - Eric Florenzano

Nothing, but I'd be happy for them to pay me. I'm not sure that's the greatest business model, though. - Vince DeGeorge

No i would not, Any free real time messaging app would be my replacement. There is nothing to justify me paying for twitter. - Mike Fruchter

Yes, if the service were reliable - Michael VanDervort

Probably, depending on what the paid service offered. I pay for Flickr every year because of what I get. - Dion Hinchcliffe from twhirl

Yep, it depends. Like Flickr, what do we get? A small annual fee to not have to deal with the outages would be nice. But... we're all on FF now aren't we? That changes the game a bit... - Allen Fuller

no - Sarah Peterman

No I wouldn't. Just like I wouldn't pay for Pownce - Corvida

hum... nope!...via feedalizr - Rafael Dohms

Not at this time. - Chris Rossini

nope. - Jeremy Toeman

I wouldn't. - Morton Fox

I don't mind paying for something if I can be sure it's going to stick around a bit....via feedalizr - Ro (Lilyhill)

They hardly inspire confidence in their product which makes it hard to justify paying for it. Will they ever be in a position to charge given the current state of affairs? And what will paying for Twitter achieve? 99.99% uptime? Prove you can consistently provide the required uptime before going pay. - Gabriel Nijmeh

I think they should offer additional services, grouping friends by category etc - John Cass

No, based on my current usage and the little value I get from it. But yes, if it was as essential to me as some people claim it is to them. - Michael Hocter

Flat out no.... I would move to Pownce, Jaiku, or FriendFeed - Mike Wills from twhirl
