I did read lately that Twitter are planning on increasing the API count significantly. I agree an edit window would be very useful; however in the meantime, I’ve been using the delete and re-post method on the rare occasions I spot I’ve made a glaring error in a tweet (the rest of the time I must just overlook it!).

I can’t really think of a price I’d be prepared to pay. I’d certainly like to see any pay system work so that the more “air time” you buy, a bigger discount is applied. e.g. £5 pcm paid monthly, £4.75 pcm paid quarterly, £4.50 pcm paid bi-annually and £4 pcm paid annually. Such a model would benefit both the consumer in the long term and the provider in the immediate short term. (This despite my earlier comment of I might use occasionally).

This all said, I feel that as soon as the focus becomes payware, people will pack up shop and go elsewhere. You only have to look at all the irritating Facebook groups people create with regards to, “As soon as Facebook start to charge I’m off” I get invited to on a regular basis and these are purely rumour mill based.

I initially thought I would never pay for twitter, but the more I use it, the more I can see it’s immense capabilities and I really dont want Twitter to go down the route of sending spinsored tweets i would not be able to avoid; I would find that a real turn off.

I liked the idea of some of the suggested extra features you mentioned; I think that would enhance my experience of using twitter, but still offer a basic service to those who dont want extras.

A survey on “How much is it worth to you?” could be very interesting. You really need to know what your users think on something like this. If it’s really unpopular, an alternative would have to be better. I notice that Wikipedia has been appealing for donations. The wording is nicely done, and seems to have worked.
