I heard about a company called cash4tweets.com – it pays people on twitter (with a lot of followers) to tweet about a product. Eg. If Microsoft comes out with a new product, they will pay someone with 50k followers to tweet about it.

Believe me, it’s not only advertisers that have felt that wrath of poor service from Be-A-Magpie. I’ve been with the program(as a publisher) for over 4 months now and have only seen about 5 to 7 tweets. If this service really wants to take off they’re going to need to improve on their consistency and advertising service.

After trying a few times with 50 pounds I was unable to get any paid tweets going.

From an advertiser standpoint this service fails at what it promises.

I looked around and couldn’t find those spots. Did you have any issues with the campaign?

I think I have seen a few sponsored tweets here and there but so far it hasnt taken away from the service. I wonder if twitter themselves could do the same thing say 10% of all streams carry a sponsored tweet, this way they could take advantage on the need.

It will be interesting to see how this takes off and if it gets any traction. I could see this violating twitters TOS as well as twitter account farms popping up to facilitate lots of spam.
