How I think Twitter can solve it's problems!

10 Jul 2008 By Randy Walker

If you’re an avid twitterer (or twit for short), you’ll be very familiar with it’s downtime issues.  Well as I see it, there are 3 major problems Twitter has.  Downtime, Spammers, and a lack of viable income.

So how do I think it can solve it’s problems?

Simple, charge anyone with a follow to follower ratio greater than 2 to 1.  This would immediately eliminate 99% of spammers, drastically cut the system resource issues (thus reducing downtime), and create an income for company.  While I doubt this will completely resolve it’s lack of income problem, it’s a step in the right direction.  Those who use twitter as a marketing method, can continue to use the service, but must pay for it.

That’s my 2 cents.
