Twitter’s Business Model: Contextual Tag Footers or Differentiating Feature?

Dave Winer hits the bull’s eye on Twitter’s business model –

Twitter’s destiny is, imho, to be acquired by a phone company and sold as a feature that gives users a reason to use one brand of phone over another.

Imagine if Nokia offered a cell phone with Twitter built-in, a checkbox for SMS users (default on?) — “Do you want to send SMS messages to your buddy list?”

Don’t you think the kids would go for that?

I agree with Dave that contextual tag footers on Twitter will be lame. All mobile companies I meet tell me that tag footers work, but I’m far from convinced.

What do you think? About tag footers on SMSes? About tag footers on Twitter?
