An interview between Twitter co-founder Biz Stone and The Wall Street Journal indicates that Twitter will be introducing paid, commercial Twitter accounts this year.

Twitter recently hired a product manager to oversee the development of commercial accounts. Such accounts will, apparently, give users more features in exchange for a fee.

Twitter has not yet established a launch date or a pricing model for its commercial accounts.
