Twitter Premium?

Monday, May 14, 2007 by Dave Winer.

Jason Calacanis is known for stimulating interesting discussion. Today is no different.  

He says he'd pay $100 a year for a Twitter that was always fast, almost always up, and had some additional features. 

I sent Jason a private email which I'll now repeat here. 

Just FYI, because of their API, you don't really need Ev and Biz to do that for you. A bunch of us could pool resources and set up a server of our own, and peer with Twitter's. If Twitter is down it would just queue up the messages, in the meantime, anyone who was on the premium system would see the messages immediately.
