Got a link to this article in one of my RSS feeds, thought it may have relevance to some on here. Not 'new' news but confirmation that this is still in the pipeline.

Twitter still to Launch Premium Accounts Before the End of the Year

I would be interested in your thoughts on how useful this may be, and what impact it will have on the popularity and success of the Twitter platform...

...oh no, I can hear Matt rubbing his hands over the keyboard ready to belittle the social media giant already!

I think Twitter Premium will have advantages but only to companies who have the ability to use it correctly as a social media tool. If anyone is looking to exploit Twitter for profit they need to know how to use great 140 ch copy and manipulate trends.

My greatest concern is twitter becomes a modern myspace and is overshadowed by smart markerters who use fake profiles and other tatics to undervalue the service.
