I have an idea, I welcome you to punch holes in it.
Why not charge the sizeable players for that immediacy?
Say you have 500,000+ followers, and you want your tweets to be sent out the second Twitter receives them, you need some sort of premium account for $XXX/mth.
Without said account, your public Tweets have a 5 minute delay.
What am I missing?
- davidivadavid 10y agoHow many people care enough to pay for it?
- slindz 10y agoOnly those who care about the immediacy. News agencies come to mind. If the difference between being seen first and being seen eventually depends on whether you give Twitter $X,XXX/mth, I think it'd be pretty easy to justify the cost. For everybody else, few would notice or care. And that's fine. [edit/addition]: The key would be finding what the sweet spot price to delay would be.
- slindz 10y agoTo be clear, I'm not talking about convincing everyone to pitch in $4/mth - no one would do that. I'm talking about collecting a serious fee from established businesses who rely on Twitter for the lifeblood of their own monetization efforts.
