Verge证实，Twitter正在考虑向包括品牌和新闻机构在内的超级用户提供付费订阅服务。Twitter用户今天开始在Twitter上发布调查截图和高级版Twitter的模拟版本，并提供新的分析、突发新闻提醒以及账户关注者在Twitter上发布的信息。这些高级功能将包含在Tweetdeck中，Tweetdeck是该公司面向专业人士的应用程序。核心服务将保持免费。

“我们正在进行这项调查，以评估人们对一种新的、更增强的Tweetdeck版本的兴趣，”一位发言人告诉Verge我们定期进行用户研究，以收集有关人们Twitter体验的反馈，并更好地为我们的产品投资决策提供信息，我们正在探索几种方法，使Tweetdeck对专业人士更有价值。”

一位知情人士向《边缘报》透露，该公司尚未开始建设这项服务。该调查旨在帮助团队确定服务的产品路线图的优先级。

以下是Twitter发布的调查中的语言：

在Twitter广告收入下滑之际，订阅业务可能为其提供一个至关重要的新收入来源。当其他公司努力剥离公司业务的其余部分时，Twitter需要给它的核心用户群留下来的理由。目前尚不清楚高级分析是否会成为该公司的主要业务。但考虑到Twitter正面临来自各方的攻击，对核心产品的任何投资对用户来说都是好消息。
