The fact that you have decided to follow people who RT every Mashable article isn't Twitter's fault. @Jonathan if your tweet stream is full of people tweeting stuff you don’t need, stop following them.

But, when I am using a program and at the same time providing them my audience (Twiiter, Facebook) and giving them lots of data, I think they should be rewarding me. And they do by being Free. I make money from ads, so it doesn't really bother me that they do as long as the ads aren't too obtrusive. Classmates tried a premium service. They are still around, but I don't know their revenue split. Some free hosting and web tool companies offered ad free stuff with a premium service (bravenet) and they are still around. But again, I don't know their revenue mix. So there maybe enough people willing to pay for an ad free environment to augment the ads and make the company quite profitable. And maybe that would be a better question to ask. cd :O) I pay for my internet service and a pay for quite a few domains.

The higher level of service I'd be willing to pay. Admittedly, not very developed, such as Facebook. @Rob I agree with you. The higher level of service I’d be willing to pay.

They have to monetize it somehow and it's valuable enough to me that I'd rather pay a bit than see it disappear. Having said that I probably wouldn't pay more than about $5-$10 per month.
