David Moth says, “It only took eight some-odd years, but faced with stiff competition that has dented user growth and monetization, Twitter is finally considering a paid subscription offering.

Here’s what you need to know about “Twitter Pro.”

1. Twitter is currently researching whether there’s enough interest to make a go of it.

First things first: while the possibility of a paid subscription offering is more than rumor – Twitter itself made an announcement – the company says that it’s currently conducting research and asking users for feedback, so there’s no guarantee that it will move forward with the concept.

2. The offering would likely be an enhanced version of Tweetdeck.

In 2011, Twitter acquired TweetDeck, a Twitter client for iOS and Android that had become the most popular Twitter app in the world. Today, Tweetdeck, which Twitter dubs “the most powerful Twitter tool for real-time tracking, organizing, and engagement,” is most frequently used by power users and celebrities to manage and post to their Twitter accounts”.
