Charging is not necessary... it just has to be designed correctly. Twitter is just in need of horizontal scaling. Split the namespace across many servers and it would scale. No problem. Which is why I don't understand why they're having some problems. Well, I do. It's because they're using rails. If you do that it suggests you don't know what you're doing.
