If you recall the growth of online dating, the free services were all the rage, they came & went. In the early stages people continually jumped ship & followed, but eventually the paid model began to gain a foothold. My sense of why the paid model worked in online dating is that it served to establish a level of "seriousness" among the participants - quickly skiming off the scammers/spammers. A "paid Twitter" could become a more "credible Twitter", and I for one would be glad to pay for the service.</p> I liked the article & Chris' post re: ROI.

The same was asked about Google-- would you pay $5 per month? The answers are interesting. It was at the end of 2005 but still.<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/y76b4r" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/y76b4r</a></p> <p>Personally,I would (probably) not pay for Twitter. IMO, you'd see more blatant business marketing done on it. Corporate twitters would abound and all the interesting folks would likely leave to a easily copied version. Heck, if a few of the influencers left, many more would follow. But hey, what do I know, I'm still in the stock market. </p> Interesting question.

If AR is successful, I anticipate many of these sites like Twitter will enact a paid membership.</p> I am sure many eyes will be on AR to see how this decision to charge will affect it's future growth.

Eventually, 1 or 2 sites will really dominate and start charging fees to its members. By this time they will have established a ROI.</p> My guess is that when a social networking site starts charging, members will drop and find another free service.
