There is news in the air that Twitter will soon be putting a price on an account that belongs to firms. The idea came out in an interview of Biz Stone with Marketing, a British trade magazine. This doesn’t surprise anyone as the micro-blogging service had been trying to do something about generating revenue given the massive success it has amassed over time. Another reason behind it can be the advantage firms have taken, Dell’s example of generating revenue from the service being one. Stone stated in the interview:

We are noticing more companies using Twitter and individuals following them. We can identify ways to make this experience even more valuable and charge for commercial accounts. It could also create revenue-generating features to tap into the way brands use Twitter as a hybrid marketing and customer-service tool
