Hi Andy,

it’s great to see that you’re considering Twitter advertising.

We’ve had a little bit of a rough time launching Magpie as the first of these networks a year ago. But I guess more and more people reach the point where they value Twitter and micro-blogging in general as a new channel, using it regularly to provide great content to their followers, and –of course– would like to be rewarded for that and monetize their stream.

I won’t be asking you to try Magpie as well, you will decide what’s best for you. I’m just delighted that more and more people reconsider our model.

Thanks,

Jan

I think it would depend on ad content and frequency. Irrelevant or far too frequent ads will make up my mind to drop anybody. But if they are chosen well, and not running every other tweet, then in my opinion, you’ll be ok.

I find I am blogging more. Twitter is not very interesting in terms of finding useful, informative content. It’s useful for finding connections. It’s useful for finding hot topics. It’s useful for finding links to self-promotional schmuck sites, too. Occasionally I find some real gems in the links, but mostly it’s self-promotional schmuck heaven.

That probably has more to do with the hash tags I search on than anything else. I’m really not interested in who is brushing their teeth at the moment.

I’ll make a note not to tweet about teeth whitening!

You create good content and your tweets are interesting, so I doubt I’d unfollow you just for running an ad in your Twitter stream every so often.

On the other hand – I have made it a habit to unfollow any stream I feel is too spammish. One criteria I have to determine spam is if I see a “Secret to White Teeth” tweet in someone’s stream. I will almost always automatically unfollow anyone who tweets about that. I had an organization follow me this morning who I decided not to follow back because the first tweet on their Twitter page was a “White Teeth” one. I just happened to see that particular account on the list of Ad.ly advertisers when I checked out their site after reading your post here.

While it’s true they could be a part of another Twitter ad scheme, I wonder if I will need to reevaluate my criteria for Twitter spam if this type of monetizing catches on.

Hey Andy,

You produce some great content so good to to see you on-board. I think you’re a trailblazer in the way you’re thinking about it in looking at your Twitter stream “the same way I look at Marketing Pilgrim.”

We’ve found many of our advertisers to be the same as those using tools like AdSense, and suspect that as time progresses, people will be monetizing their micro-blogs in the same way that they monetize their blogs and websites. Keep up the good work.

It would depend.. I’m following you because I felt your tweets add value to my work-flow. If suddenly I’m getting flooded with too many commercials then I’d unfollow you. However, if your real tweets had enough value to outweigh the commercials then I’d still follow you. And that’s pretty much like watching sports on TV. I’ll put up with endless Coors and Bud Light commercials because the game has enough value to keep me glued
