I would not pay for Twitter. In fact, I would prefer for Twitter to pay me.

>Paying subscription fees to social networks is a business model not very likely to succeed.

Two things:

1) I think in our present day western consumerist world if a comfortable technologist says "I would pay for that" it doesn't literally mean that - it just means "I value it".

2) Regardless, I stand by my previous comment in the other thread - that I would not pay for Twitter. Why? Because I am already paying for it. Twitter gets value from me. My time on Twitter is a form of labour for the company. It's a two way exchange, I benefit from using it - and I like it. I even see advertisements on Twitter. My eyes and clicks are a form of revenue generation for Twitter. I would not pay for Twitter because I am already paying for it.

Remember the saying "if you are getting it for free, you are the product"?
