I guess as with so many of these things the answer is “it depends” 🙂 I pay a fiver a month for Spotify – which was really just to get rid of the ads – and I don’t regret that for a second so if that sort of option at that sort of price was available for Twitter I doubt I’d bat an eyelid.

However like Mr Powell says if my community decides that isn’t a decision they can live with and suddenly all moved elsewhere then I’d have to think again. Twitter has never really been about the technology – it is the people and if they move on and just leave behind a celeb obsessed crowd then what is the point..
