Hard sell to say the least. Unless they plan in restructuring the entire twitter concept…I don’t see it’s usefulness.

I agree to some comments here that i will not spend a single dollar to read someone tweets..for what purpose its a waste of money…i rather spend it to more useful things than paying for tweets of others..

I won’t spent a dollar asking someone to tweet for me. I think it’s a waste of the money.

I would not even spend a look to see a 140 character, so called “premium” tweet. What could be so premium in 140 characters?

I wouldn’t pay to read tweets unless it were part of a larger service, like a membership site. But part of the fun of twitter is that it’s free!

No, I don´t see the point in paying to see some other members Tweets.The internet is full of information and you will probably get more useful information by searching for it on Google.

No. Not because I’m a cheapskate but because while Twitter can be useful and informative, it’s not useful or informative enough. There maybe tweet sources worth paying for — stock price movements, ball-by-ball sports coverage etc, but these are delivered better by other online channels.

I agree. Tweets have a low value from most people but, a select few may be worth something.

Once Twitter adds adsense to its site, the owners of the twitter accounts could well benefit by earning bucks.

No and never will it be. Not worth it.

but not if you only get access to tweets. However being on a private “tweetlist” as a part of a course or consulting endeavor I think could work. Interaction between those that take part in the course and the courses teacher etc.

I can see paying for tweets in that secondary form. But not only paying for tweets. Thats to little.

Paying for tweets? No. Never.

I have not read nothing worth being paid in Twitter never. I don’t think there will be anything worth a penny in the near future.

It would be a hard sell for me to pay for tweets, even ones with valuable info. If I’m going to pay for content, I’d rather buy an e-book or take an e-course, rather than watch someone’s tweets with the same information. For me, and most, twitter is a conversational tool. Valuable tweets would get lost in the stream, and having to click on their names – I might as well subscribe via email or login to a site or something.

However, I might be willing to pay for tweets in order to have a conversation with someone. For example, personal coaching with Donald Trump or a chat about juicy gossip with Britney Spears. However, I think responsivity would be be key. The cost would need to be high enough to limit access to only a few users, thus keeping the amount of conversations small enough to actually respond to them. It would be like a group chat for a very selective group.
