Several folks have asked us about the FULL access preview and the
upcoming subscription model: When will FULL access officially launch?
How much will the subscription cost? I'm excited to say that we are
finalizing those details right now and will be able to answer those
questions very shortly! In the meantime, I wanted to take a moment to
give everyone an update - whether you are a FREE or FULL access user -
so that you know what to expect in the weeks ahead.

The FULL access preview has been available for 5 weeks now. It's fair
to say that the preview is about half-way through and will end some
time in mid-July (at which time we will officially launch FULL
access). Again, we'll give you a more precise date soon! The good news
is that everyone currently participating in the preview will be
eligible for discounted subscriptions at that time. There is limited
time left to sign up for the preview (and get a discounted
subscription) so please let your friends know! We are still handing
out invite codes.

We've received a lot of great feedback during this preview and are
continuing to make improvements and add features. As we get closer to
officially launching FULL access, you can expect quality-of-service
changes to ensure that FULL access customers are truly getting the
most premium experience. For example, FULL access users will see their
email alerts get even faster, while FREE access users might experience
longer delays. We will also enforce some usage limits on FREE access
accounts in order to allow higher usage for FULL access accounts.

Note that we have some users that access tweetymail in an automated
fashion. It turns out that a small percentage of tweetymail accounts -
all automated - are responsible for a significant percentage of tweets
and emails. We want to support these types of accounts but don't think
it makes sense to treat them the same way as personal user accounts.
Therefore, we are going to restrict FULL access to personal use only
when we officially launch the subscription model. We will have a
separate subscription option available for commercial and automated
accounts as we move forward.

Finally, are you a FREE access user? Rest assured - we are committed
to ensuring that our FREE access users continue to enjoy the best free
Twitter-over-Email service available. All of the great features that
are part of FREE access now will remain free. You will still be able
to tweet, send direct messages, receive mentions, create search
alerts, and more - but of course within limits. If you require higher
usage, and want access to the most convenient and powerful features,
then FULL access is for you ;-)

So that's an overview of where the service is heading. Please
continue to send us your feedback and ideas. I hope to share more
specific details with you soon!
