> "Twitter can become big but is it big enough given the hype?"

Yeah I totally agree with that lots of effort have into these companies and they will be profitable one day. I am not trying to say its pure hype. Its just overhyped. And its not like twitter is saying hype me, its just the bad ecosystem around it :).

Lets say a service like yelp, will you be willing to pay to use it. I would. They might not charge but still its solving a definate pain-point.

I thinking having an option to monetize using ads have led lots and lots of developers to just build stupid products and not focus on trying to solve a pain-point and provide enough value to the user that he says: "I like your product. I use it daily. Here you go $10, this months fees."

I think that would be the day :).
