Sounds good. I've signed up for the Beta. I'm a stats whore, as are, probably, many Twitter power users.
I guess the monetisation is pretty obvious - charge businesses for analytics - though I wonder how they'll tier the pricing. After all, many tiny, broke businesses are very active on social media, so activity won't be a good way to split it...
We're starting with just a free version for consumers and one price all for paid users. Our first paid feature is reporting, which at $200/mo makes sense for any business which currently has an employee spend hours compiling Twitter reports by hand. In our many conversations with businesses, we found this to be surprisingly common, and just as painful as you might imagine.
When we add additional paid features, we might add additional tiers of pricing depending on what makes sense for those features, grandfathering in old customers as appropriate. For now and the foreseeable future, there is just one price.
