Part of its appeal is that it is free. In my opinion getting the owner rich quick to make a few twitter addicts richer only will worsen the experience for everyone else. A definite no no .

No. I really like twitter I use it every day but... Twitter is in my view an early generation product which because of it's many problems will have difficulty spreading to the general users. Why? because the emphasis is on what are you doing and this becomes the social object around which conversation happens. While this is useful for highly motivated people in the social space such as bloggers (for whom lifestreaming is the norm) and entrepeneurs (for whom it is a PR exercise) most people in the world don't want this lifestreaming effect to this extent. So twitter or a competitor needs to find something else for people to talk about and socialise around. Friendfeed steps in the right direction with RSS etc. but this can and will be taken a step further as, similar to all things on the internet, this space will tend towards how, what and who people socialise around in the offline world. In a word Pat… No.

If the majority of people I follow can't post, what would I be paying for? I use twitter to get info, not necessarily to send out info.
