I am highlighting in bold the aspects of Twitter\u2019s plan that coincide with my request 8 years ago. Some things I didn\u2019t highlight like longer DMs, file transfers and improved speed were integrated to Twitter\u2019s Free product year ago. Twitter does not guarantee uptime or support response time but my point still stands.<\/p>\n<p>The price? Not $99 a month. $20 a month. If I was still using Twitter, I\u2019d sign up in an instant. This is what they should have done all along. I\u2019m been shown over and over that paid social networks don\u2019t survive but Twitter is hurting and if they can monetize the power users, celebrities and corporations that make serious money (or improve their brand and thus make money) off Twitter, they should. Hootsuite and others have been making money for almost a decade on Twitter\u2019s service with value added features like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Reuters &amp; Macrumors: Twitter is looking at providing a professional experience for people on TweetDeck that would&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-03-24T13:04:13Z","apple_news_api_id":"c91142a6-ace0-4974-931d-f9b0e2192a96","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-03-24T13:10:41Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AyRFCpqzgSXSTHfmw4hkqlg","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6743","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1KL","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6505,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2017\/01\/13\/linked-men-please-stop-manthreading\/","url_meta":{"origin":6743,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Men, Please Stop Manthreading&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"January 13, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"via Gizmodo: The best thing about Manthreading is how unnecessary it is.
