Fact: Literally No One Would Pay To Use Twitter

http://gizmodo.com/5596779/fact-literally-no-one-would-pay-to-use-twitter

There may be plenty of ways for Twitter to make money, but it doesn't look like charging membership fees will be one of them: a recent survey showed that zero percent of users would pay for the service. Zilch. None.

Tried facebook, dont get it, currently locked out of it with no discernible way of ever getting back in which I'm not really bothered about.

As far as I know twitter is updates about what you're doing now. How bored/boring must you be to want to read about what other people are doing???

Password was fine facebook didn't like me logging in from a different country so asked for details from the account all of which are fake and I could remember any of them.

I keep repeating myself, you need a password manager. Keepass has a comment field for each entry. There you could put in all your (faked) details...

Sounds very much like the amount of people who would be prepared to pay for the papers online.
