I wouldn't mind to pay for a twitter pro account myself (although I'm on a tight budget momentarily). How would this option hurt the current free business plan? I think there is even a possibility that it would enhance the perceived value not only with current users but also for would-be users. Could it be that there is some kind of inferiority complex behind the lack of decisiveness by twitter management? It's not 2007 anymore, a lot of people "got it" till now. The problem isn't the monetization of the service which could drive people away, it is the potential incremental death of the culture which would. Twitter management just need to carefully observe successful services like github or flickr (pre & shortly post yahoo) which were magnets to mavens and spread from there. Examples for big mistakes in that regard recently were Sony (killing Linux support for PS3), Nintendo (generally too many "casual games" over the last couple of years, and now the 3DS region lock - first on a Nintendo handheld). I know those companies are highly profitable but I see their base crumbling already which always are the "power users". I know talk is cheap and things are not that easy but don't be stupid, think 2011 already.
