Is Suggested Users List How Twitter Makes Money?

Just noticed few tweets about Suggested Users list and came to blog post from TechCrunch: How Much Is A Suggested Slot On Twitter Worth? Jason Calacanis Offers $250,000. by Erick ShonFeld.

Not too long ago I wrote about “Twitter Shut Down Suggested Users For Fake Followers Sake” where I explained how Twitter Suggested Users List is pretty

much not fair to millions of twitters that are NOT on that list.

Lets be honest, users list was created so people can start following others that have something in common or “world influencers” that’s what they say!

What about now?

Suggested users list went from influencers to TOP twitter payers? Is that how Twitter is going to survive this economy crisis?

What about the Jason Calanis offer, is twitter? going to add him to Suggested Users list?
