As of today, about 43% of the respondents to Guy Kawasaki’s survey question, “What Would You Pay to Use Twitter?&# You can folow the ongoing discussion about this topic on twitter directly, where many actually are willing to pay for this service. Personally, I am flabbergasted that so many people would refuse to pay for Twitter, and so many services. Charging for Twitter will make it like other sites that offer similar ad services, and will no longer keep it the unique thing it is… Maybe another part of your model has to be, spend less. Hawai?i

Twit Network (not twitter) runs off of a combination of things including one time donations, monthly donations, ad revenues and I have no idea what else. Would I pay for Twitter specifically? In a way on a service like Twitter if other people wouldn’t then it would lose it’s appeal to those that remain. In a way Twitter is like instant messaging. Lots of food for thought… Dave February 9, 2009 at 4:36 pm Another random thought about paying for online services like Facebook or Twitter or whatever. What do you think? How is it unique? Hawai?i

Here is how Toby defines a tweet-book: It’s a book written using Twitter as platform and distribution channel. This Twitter-book is structured as a “real&# business book and includes: a foreword, introduction and chapters. The Twitter stream shows newest first, tho Toby is going to publish these in ascending numerical order. That makes it easy for Toby to grab the content because it automatically filters out any unrelated tweets that might be in my timeline – which is the listing of Twitter messages I have posted.
