    This will be the final nail in the coffin. If it was already $1 and they made it $5, that would be less of a problem than free moving to $0.01. As soon as they start charging people need to be OK with giving Twitter their credit card number. Even if they trust them with that, there is still the issue of getting people to actually go through the process.

    While I pay for a search engine, when there are free options, I’m not sure what Twitter is offering here to make people care enough.
