I wonder how much sustainable revenue something like this would bring in. I imagine any number of us on this site would throw down a couple of bucks ($25/year like flickr et al, $3-10/month, etc) in support of twitter... initially. If they compromise the API feature set for advanced account features, that will reduce the feel of twitter; if they do not, any twitter feature will be replicated elsewhere. Tough situation, except they've got a lot of good will right now (ie, I would pay today for an account without much more of a bonus than a supporter button).
