In my opinion, the only people who should make money out of twitter are the owners of <a href="http://twitter.com" rel="nofollow">twitter.com</a> (and they're not yet.) It somehow feels wrong to turn a community into a marketing machine. I, for one, will bail from Twitter if I sense the winds blowing in the marketing direction. <br><br>I'm not saying people shouldn't make money. Far from it. I see Twitter as something more than just another Web 2.0 application. There's a community building there, and I'd hate to see it turned into yet one more way for people to make money. Casually mentioning your products is okay. If people follow a person with products, then they have to expect those mentions. But out and out marketing on Twitter is an evil I don't want to comprehend.<br><br>Just my devalued 2 cents.<br>@dogboi on Twitter<br><br><em>dOgBOi's last blog post..<a href="http://blog.dogboi.info/2008/04/toluu-review.html" rel="nofollow">Toluu Review</a></em>dOgBOiMon, 07 Apr 2008 23:29:35 -0000
