I would pay for Twitter.com
At this point I’m offering $100 a year for a premium account on Twitter. By premium I mean a dedicated server that is independent of the free cluster of servers, and that has an SLA of 99.99999% or something to that effect. Also, I’d pay for more features and better speed.
Ev/Biz: If you get this please consider putting up a server for your top users that are willing to pay $100 a year. When you get 100 to 500 of these $100 users why not pull the trigger? Then we can get to the service when the kitty cat is working on the free ones. 
Seriously, I’m in your corner… but the down time is really impacting my ability to get my job done!
[ Note: Twitter is a mobile/simple blogging service that I use in addition to my blog at www.calacanis.com. You can see my latest blog in the orange box to the right on this blog. ]
