140 characters would never be enough to convey my disgust towards this idea, but I do believe this short sentence/tweet will do the trick...

All joking aside, that actually sounds like a viable idea... I wonder how large the adoption would be.

same way, why not charge $5 per month for facebook? paid users see no ads, their info would not be sold to anyone etc etc. If 1/8th of the people pay, that would be around 500 mil per month (assuming 800 mil members).

I don't think either of these ideas would work though.

Will this include a profit share with users for wasting twice their time? ;)

Please don't do this.

This will break unbelievable amount of software. Worse than Y2K. I vote YES.

I also suggest $1 per month per follower to mute any account.
