While this isn't the monetization approach I would take (for what it's worth) you do have to ask, how much is Twitter worth to you? Would you pay $10 a year? $5? $1 a month? Surely you must get that much value out of it?
Take Facebook for example. It's a free service that most of its users get a great deal of value from. If asked, wouldn't many (by no means all) pay a small fee as appreciation for services rendered.
The counter argument I guess is that someone else will come along and offer the same service for less (most likely for free). But if something really is of value to the end user, why would/should they be opposed to paying for it?
