Comments on: Twitter's hunting for a moneymaker

The microblogging service has put out a job posting for a "product manager" to focus on revenue generation. Thank goodness!

Forget it. Its over. Another social app that bites the dust. No one in their right mind wants, NEEDS, to stay in touch with people that much. Bye bye twitter twits.

Twitter has its place. It's great for short messages, great for allowing for the ability to augment advertising and can even be used as an advertising medium in itself. It's great for replacing the company memo system and, given the addition of corporate accounts only accessable by password, twitter could even provide privacy. In addition, like all programs, twitter can be used to a ridiculous level, but if used on a smaller, normal level, it's great. Only update when you have something to say, only post what needs to be said and it's one of the best programs available for such things.

What would be the value? Why wouldn't corporations make an end run around the fees by just using personal accounts or being the "fake steve jobs" or some other fake name. (unless it allowed you to easily add friends and avoid spammers and MLMers. The paid version would have to be very feature rich) The only other option seems to help create private networks and while Yammer has done well in this space--I'm sure more integration (aka productivity and work flow) would add value.

Why not just make us pay to go over 140 characters. I would pay a cent a character to go over and I'm sure others would too.
