Twitter should decentralize

This article examines the social networking site twitter and the flaws in its operating systems. When Twitter first began it was never expected to be as large as it became and now with its growing popularity, some loop holes have been spotted. On twitter you can theoretically follow as many people as you want and thus be followed by whoever. Unlike other social media sites there is no comfirmation system on the "following" systems and no limitations on the number of people. unlike twitter, facebook limits users to 5000 friends.

The author suggests that Twitter should start charging its users to turn a profit and have their own sever much like microsoft exchange. However, how many users would be willing to pay this fee, especially if another site much like twitter opens up for free. As of now twitter have virtually no competition, so why change.
