Tie an ad to your tweet and hang it out the window for your friends on any one of the social networks to gaze at, and see the response that you'll get. The late, and very regretted Vradik Lahanzi was right when he wrote, "Why do you think they call it advertising, stupid?" And Vradik was writing in 1939, well before Pearl Harbor, and well before Neil Armstrong (remember him?) decided to stop moonwalking and start twittering. I agree with Jeremy... the ad-like look gets you instantly unfollowed. Just how much are you offering for my tweets?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">William O'Neill</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:49:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Would You Sell Your Tweets?</title><link>http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/03/would-you-sell-your-tweets/#comment-1574398</link><description>The first time that I see something appear in my stream that looks ad-like will get the person unfollowed pretty quickly.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jeremy Herbel</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 15:25:16 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
