Hooked on Twitter? Don't understand what the big deal is? Twitter isn't about just sending 140 character mini messages. Its about a huge database of information capable of being context searched. Here is a list of Twitter websites that take this information and make something useful of it.

Wall Street Journal reported today that Twitter is going to be offering paid accounts for Twitter. No word on when this will be made available but this is the start of Twitter's push to monetize their service. But just what is a Twitter pro? And what features would be part of that type of user?
