I would pay for Twitter as well. Though it would be a huge backlash, I think it would clean things up quite a bit. I was one of the people who sprung for app.net. It was a crazy idea, and it's unfortunate it didn't take off. In the time App.net was buzzing with activity I did notice a significant lack of spam and fake profiles. It was nice, but it seems now most have abandoned it.

You do understand that the paid aspect of app.net guaranteed that it would fail? Usage is oxygen, fees are suffocation.

  I didn't stop using app.net because of a lack of usage, I stopped using it because of the lack of decent clients, coupled with the fact that it was just another walled garden -- not a standardized protocol.
