Obama obviously is helping to monetize by gaining donations and a following of voters. DVDQuotes is also a good one with a sizable following that is monetizing its profile in a creative way. Interesting to see the organic growth in this new form of commercialism.

Many of your reasons are similar to mine, but search and stability are highest on the list. At this time, our data is just floating there, often not even accessible to ourselves due to the large periods of downtime. Twitter may well be the most successful shitty app ever. No ads is good too, and I agree that the pro route is the one to take. We may be getting a lot more spam soon when twitter hits the one million user mark (expected some time this spring) and a network of serious pro users may bypass that. T-shirts I'd definitely get, esp. the one that would say: "I was there when the Stevenote killed Twitter". Historic.
