I am not sure most of the
I am not sure most of the would like reading sponsored tweets.
Few of them could be an annoying one. Also paid tweets must not let it go out of control. Else it might leads to reputation and mass following. Also this would not ruin twitter, because these kinds of stuffs is in progress.
I'd love to hear your review of my plan for paying for my App
I have a twitter app that is growing in popularity to the point that I need to expand. That, of course, means I need to pay much more to keep it afloat.
I know people resent paid tweets and things of that sort, but what do you think of my method? I'd like to think my followers would be willing to listen to a daily sponsorship tweet rather than have to pay for the service.
Do you think my twitter sponsorship plan would be particularly annoying? Is it a good compromise?
Its all about money
Well people tend to go chose money over popularity and if something brings in money for you, it will do good to anyone even at the cost of jeopardising the number of fan followers.
I don't think people would
I don't think people would like reading "sponsored" tweets. Some tweets can be annoying.
Paid Twittering
Since day one on Twitter I have posted nothing but links to my pages. Yes this will drive followers away in droves ie the followers that are not interested in the products marketed by the HomeBizbloke.
When joining I purposely used a Twitter name that connotates the subject "home business opportunities and ideas. The following is not high but hardened Twitterers are always on the look out for opportunities. On average 50 new followers a day join the HomeBizbloke. Also 50 followers leave per day. That tells you something?
No it doesn't - at least 60% of new followers contact the HomeBizBloke direct discussing or comparing their own Twitter Marketing. So by using Tweet Deck I always have a record of who contacted me direct, and even when they stop following I can still connect with them
Internet marketing is about building a network and twittering my home business ideas is a twreat. Happy Twittering Homebizbloke
Can be both positive & negative
Paid tweeting is not all bad.It can help to vastly improve your traffic but the negative aspect is that you could lose your loyal followers due to the quality of tweets.
what is paid tweeting?
I dont understand paid tweeting is working ? Could someone explain or post a link to an explain.
Paid Tweets - What's The Point of Twitter?
I thought that twitter started out as a way to update our followers about what we are doing. Now we are using it to update them with our latest blog posts and retweets of other interesting tweets with beneficial information. Advertising on Twitter? If everyone else I follow is advertising for someone else, I would have stop following immediately and might consider not using Twitter anymore - that is of course if Twitter has become the central of spam. Viagra and so on.
Personally it makes me laugh
Personally it makes me laugh that the "industry" is bleating about spam on twitter. It is the whitehat SEO and Marketing industry that has been advocating using Twitter as a marketing tool since its inception, yet now when everyone is doing it, some less subtly admittedly, it is suddenly an issue!
If you took the marketing tweets out of twitter, you would be left with people claiming they are rioting in Iran and some guy in a dorm in Montreal telling people how he likes fondling carrots.
Twitter was and is HYPE, and once people outside of the industry get bored with the nonsense of the 140 chara tweets, it will die a lonely death.
agreed
Not only that, but this is more proof that pretty much everyone is making money off of Twitter except for...Twitter. And the more it gets cluttered with un-monetized tweets the quickly that lonely death will be.
I'm more concerned with the lack of probably encryption that might help phishers and worm spreaders at this point. If Twitter were to implement extended validation ssl I wouldn't really care if tweets started blatantly plugging every consumer product known to man (not that they aren't already doing that...).

Don't forget the 20-somethings complaining that they haven't found a job yet, unless that counts as self-advertisement...
Twitter has caught on so
Twitter has caught on so fast mainly because its being used at a marketing tool by website owners. I dont think this is anything new and googles ranking system is what has caused all this.
Twitter being ruined?
Who cares. If this site gets all jammed up with all this nonsense, people will just start another website and people will migrate there. Of course people are going to try to make money any way the can from Twitter, just like every other site out there. In the end, the site that provides a unique positive experience will win.
No this wouldn't necessarily
No this wouldn't necessarily ruin Twitter, because this kind of stuff is already happening. It's the same concept as sponsored blogging. Higher up Tweeters and social media consultants are doing this already for people that have come to them or they've gone to and are getting paid for it. I've seen it and just like many internet marketers, I unfollow them.
Twitter Spam
No kidding! It's all same-same. I mentioned in a Tweet that I DIDN"T want to spend time getting a Doctorate degree and immediately was followed by Dr. Coach who offered me help with my disertation!
Paid Tweets Could Ruin Twitter
Hi Chris,
I do think that paid tweets could ruin Twitter. But as long as its not overdone and monitored by Twitter, it should be ok.
Twitter needs to keep an eye on the paid tweets and shouldn't let it go out of control. Otherwise it could be detrimental to its reputation and mass following.
Thanks for the great post & I wish you all the best.
