Twitter is considering allowing users to ‘tip’ for tweets or subscribing to a particular user’s messages. Tweakers report that.
Today, Twitter derives almost all of its revenue from advertising.
By giving tips or taking out a subscription, users can more easily support their favourite twitterer.
There may also be a paywall with a collection of twitterers behind it.
It is not known when the new functions will be available. However, the rumour came out on Monday that Twitter would like to make its tool TweetDeck paid.
