I am sure there are a million ways they could turn it into revenue without pissing users off. Thanks for the link. I had not seen that and he makes some sense. Elan. You are correct Eve.

To be fair, it was probably purposefully vague. It makes no sense to try and segregate users into personal/commercial. *ALL* Twitter users get some sort of value out of the service, or they wouldn't be using it. Just becasue I sell my knowledge as opposed to selling widgets, does not mean that I am not "commercial". Actually, I don't understand what the big hoopla is. I can come up with more than a couple of possible business models for Twitter, and that is before I've had my morning coffee :-) I am sure if Twitter makes it a priority, they will come up with some of their own. Just charging $5 for a premium service that allows me to receive more than 250 sms, creates a better profile page and enables Twitter via IM would already be a good deal. And then of course there is Calacanis' post about how Twitter could be a billion dollar company: http://www.calacanis.com/2008/01/02/the-three-business-models-that-make-twitter-a-billion-dollar-bus/ That business model sucks.
