Twitter announced yesterday premium account subscriptions. It is not confirmed on the Twitter blog or Twitter website about these services. This will mark a close to Twitter's bleeding books and maybe give the company some much needed real income. There will be four flavors of, in honor of birds of course, of account levels: Sparrow, Dove, Owl, Eagle.
- Sparrow- $5/month, 145 character limit
- Dove- $15/month, 160 character limit
- Owl- $50/month, 250 character limit
- Eagle- $250/month, 500 character limit
Rumors are also circulating that super accounts, in line with the American Express Black, called Black will also be available.
but it may just all be a joke ;)
