Considerable link bait.<p>But their costs aren&#x27;t just servers and such. They have loads of staff-even to the point of some claiming Twitter is hoarding the smart and talented folk from making competitors and such.<p>Didn&#x27;t they also have a big IPO to fall back on while they figure out their new scale?<p>---<p>Personally, I would never pay $50 a year for something I only add to 3-5 times a month, and view once every other day. Though @steveklabnik would probably have a different valuation of his twitter usage and experience.

I don&#x27;t see the connection between &quot;Twitter had a net loss&quot; to &quot;Twitter is going to start charging for accounts&quot;. They managed $250 million last quarter without charging users directly. Charging users directly is could be a very threatening thing to their business. Would they take that risk to increase revenues by 30% when they could optimize and current revenue streams and introduce other revenue streams which have a much lower risk than charging users directly?

This post is not only badly formatted but also way off. Twitter, like Facebook, has a gold mine of data that they haven&#x27;t started monetizing. Not only do they know good amount of personal data based on your profile, who you follow, what you tweet but also where you go on the web (those share buttons &quot;call back to Twitter&quot;). All of this data is very powerful and is basically a gold mine wait to be sold&#x2F;packaged.

The link bait title drew me in but the content is just a poorly written rambling that i don&#x27;t even understand. What do you even mean when you say &quot;Freemium&quot;?

The moment Twitter starts charging users, everyone will jump ship. Then it&#x27;s just network effect in action: less users -&gt; less incentive to stay (and pay money).

Is this factual? Or just conjecture? I can&#x27;t tell from the content of the post itself, but a quick Google search revealed nothing.
