(so far) I don't mind putting up with a few adds now and then, and I don't mind even paying for getting SMS updates but Twitter is screwing their users over by not allowing either to cover the costs of their service and it's going to come and bite them in the ass! That's why I don't mind if Twitter burns to the ground, they'll deserve it, they're just being stupid!

I think this is a great news for Twitter adoption in Canada. I think this is a first step but I'm wondering how long will it take for Twitter to become mainstream in term of usage like Facebook.

    Everybody seems to be talking about Twitter but not many people seem to be using it.
