And now, in a way, I think that because of its growth, Twitter as a service has proven on its own behalf that having a large and vast user base is more important to Twitter the company than having a small but profitable one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>on a paid service:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is quite safe to assume most Twitterers would never pay for the service. If it became a paid-only network they would simply sign-off and be done with it. I would be willing to stay and pay but only if many of the people I follow stayed and paid also.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Personally, i still wish Twitter would add a pro service that added things and kept the current features for current users. I&#8217;d gladly pay for additional features.
