If Twitter is ever successfully monetized, it will be by providing access to the knowledge that comes from its user-contributed content, not from asking users to pay for the tool through subscriptions, or through time and attention spent on advertising.

The real potential is in providing information to businesses on their brands and on their target market. Once Twitter finds a way to package this data in a way that’s usable and actionable, we could see it turn into a grown-up business model.

I think twitter is too “one-size fits all” to make any sense, really. I expect 1000’s of twitter knock-offs within the next year, especially if laconi.ca finally gets around to making its code easily available for novices to implement (otherwise, someone else might … — so by 2009 I expect there will be 1000’s of twitter streams for 1000’s of topics, and the one-size fits-all twitter.com site will be left to the spammers (who are already flooding in).

BTW: I just tweeted basically that — see http://twitter.com/nmw/status/1212480998

Hi Kara. I think your skeptical but plausible take is about right.

But what about that photo of Cheetos? That’s not fair. It’s 5:30pm and I’m a bit hungry and now I’ve got a craving for Cheetos!
