It looks like Twitter may not be getting any paid accounts after all, at least not in the way we’ve been initially expecting, despite the detailed reports from last week. Digital Garage, the company which runs Twitter in Japan, has issued a statement which boils down to ‘it’s a misunderstanding, there won’t be any paid accounts for the foreseeable future’. <\/p>\n
After the news of the paid premium content started making rounds, the company wanted to set the record straight denying it had any immediate plans. It was a couple of days after the initial reports and there are still a couple of sketchy details, but here’s what happened. Kenichi Sugi DG Mobile’s, a Digital Garage subsidiary, chief operating officer, gave a presentation at a tech conference where he laid out some of the details of the company’s plans to start using paid subscriptions as a revenue model. The presentation got picked up by various media outlets and spread around the world. <\/p>\n
Now Digital Garage is saying that the presentation wasn’t an official announcement from the company, but rather some possible future plans for DG Mobile which don’t directly involve either Twitter or Digital Garage. <\/p>\n
