Monetizing Twitter?

Posted by Frankie On November - 20 - 2009

thumb-twitter2As Twitter adoption increases, it will become less of an extension to other social networks people use, and more of a platform of its own from which others utilize their structure.  One such example of this is Magpie.  Magpie allows Twitter users to submit their account to Magpie to be occassionally used for ad tweets.  This allows the user to approve specific ads, and limit their frequency.

 

But the blog SEO Smarty poses some good questions.  For instance… Would engaging in this hurt your following?  Does it dilute Twitter itself?  Will Twitter block this service, as they have yet to monetize Twitter?  Such issues will likely contribute to a lack of adoption by Twitter users, even if advertisers find it worth their while.
