Oh sorry, thought this was Twitter. - fabkebab, on 04/11/2009, -1/+8Everyone is making snide comments about how twitter can't find a way to monetize its offering, and then people act surprised when the inevitable ads show up-
I know I am simplifying a bit, but what else did you expect? - inactive, on 04/11/2009, -0/+6lol @ anyone expecting twitter to make money
- Atario, on 04/11/2009, -5/+10I've always considered Twitter itself kind of pitiful and sad.
- inactive, on 04/11/2009, -0/+4twitter *****.
- inactive, on 04/11/2009, -5/+8I knew this was happening, but I had no idea it was this blatant and wide spread. I unfollow people as soon as I see this stuff go down.
- dickenshit, on 04/11/2009, -0/+3There are much more subtle variations of this kind of social networking promo stuff. A lot of users on Digg, for example, are paid employees or paid subcontractors of companies hoping to drive traffic to their sites. They are tough to spot, but one giveaway is when they keep posting links to the same news site, for instance. Lying to your friends has become a way to make a living, thanks to the monetary potential of social networking! Viral indeed.
- orion846, on 04/11/2009, -1/+4sorry fanboi, the truth hurts
- closetosomet, on 04/11/2009, -0/+3I just went to the magpie website, and they claim kevinrose can sell his Twitter soul to them for $68,167.40 a month. I find that figure completely unbelievable and doubt this is even possible.
- Lynxist, on 04/11/2009, -0/+2Yep, the marketers have arrived.
- IamNomad, on 04/12/2009, -0/+2i dont understand why youre getting dugg down. dugg for truth.
- jyoop, on 04/11/2009, -0/+1Sounds like a real case of twits on twitter, tweeting. I would rather have your mind than your gold. Will accept you for what you seem to be until you prove otherwise. Furthermore, if you can sell your twitter soul and inform tweetland about something exciting and delightful then tweet yourself twitteringly and tweetly of course.
- simonhamer, on 04/12/2009, -1/+2OK, it is just a shift in power. Realise we are now in control. Social Media hi 5 !
- Atario, on 04/11/2009, -2/+3Putting in strategic misspellings, miscapitalizations, mispunctuation, and other internet crapisms make them more believable.
Bill Hicks said it, and it's still as true as ever: marketing is evil. - NYDrinks, on 04/11/2009, -1/+2Ahhhh HAHAHA!!!
- themoan, on 04/16/2009, -0/+0Oh great, more crap
- Lynxist, on 04/11/2009, -1/+1You Twitter with Snitter while sitting on the *****.
- spillspace, on 04/12/2009, -0/+0This info is going to get out fast, I posted this article on twitter with the text "People to Unfollow" and the link got 200 hits in 2 days. So, idiots beware! We're onto you.
- Klak, on 04/11/2009, -2/+1*guy you dont know trying to get you digg his submissions
- Gndoab, on 04/11/2009, -3/+2if you can find my soul, I'll be sure to sell it to you!
- phaoloo, on 04/11/2009, -4/+3Hope there's someone want to buy mine :P
- joshualamgroup, on 04/11/2009, -5/+3Apple isn't using Twitter to promote their stuff...
ReadWriteWeb is WRONG!
There's an Apple Affiliate Program, which Apple pays 2% of the product sold to the affiliate. This is done though Commission Junction (CJ.com).
So what does this (not so) smart Affiliate do? He uses Magpie to spread his Affiliate links on Twitter, hoping he'll make a profit..
Check the urls that are with the apple tweets on twitter, they'll all start with these:
http://www.kqzyfj.com/
http://www.jdoqocy.com/
http://www.anrdoezrs.net/
And guess which each one redirects to? cj.com! - fabrik42, on 04/11/2009, -4/+0Suprise, surpise... You don't need browser scripting / backtweet / ninja stuff
Just take a look at their page: http://be-a-magpie.com/customer - radmarshallb, on 04/11/2009, -10/+4Something tells me Apple isn't paying people to tweet out the wrong product name. They don't sell an 'iTV'. Buried for inaccuracy.
