It sells fake Robert Scoble SuperTweets. Have a look here: http://www.icents.net/demo/faketwitter.html SuperTweets are tweets up to 420 characters. The mockup charges 1 cent micropayments to show each SuperTweet, and it charges 30 cents micro-subscription to show all of them. I don’t know if this would work or not if Twitter implemented it, but TC seems to think it might, since this mockup follows exactly the functionality described here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/27/6-reasons-why-twitter-japans-subscription-model-might-work-in-japan What do you think??

I frankly don't see them surviving if they start requiring paid subscriptions.
