Pay for Tweets, now I've heard it all

I just got done writing a long post on Blogger Social(ites) I'll meet next week by making  Some thoughts about Blogger Social 08 - notes to myself

I then dashed off to a meetup tonight and was showing someone who I met there Twitter (some people still are unaware of it).

But now it looks like Twitter is being used for a variety of things I never thought of such as rasing money - as in Pay-Per-Tweet: An Experiment In Twitter-nomics

 "...I joked via Twitter Sunday evening that my 2,000th tweet (Yes, that’s what we call it and yes, it’s ridiculous.) was upcoming and for a mere $5.00 sent to my PayPal account, I would pimp your wares. Part of the reason I use Twitter is to bring a smile to people’s faces with my odd-ball sense of humor sometimes, so I figured I’d get a laugh or two."

People selling their "tweets"... hmmm.  Here's the tweets 

And so, PayPal payment received, here are some selected Tweets leading up to 2,000:

JasonFalls So I’ve got my 2000th tweet upcoming today and it’s been sponsored by a cool social good project. I’ll tell more through the day. Head’s up.

JasonFalls The Tweet will be a link to a page asking you to login and vote for a social media-based project in a grant/funding competition.

JasonFalls And while I’d love for you to vote for the project that leads you there, you can vote for up to 10 — all fantastic social good projects.

JasonFalls So with my 2000th tweet, I’m asking each of you to take a few brief minutes to vote for some great ideas that will help improve our world.

JasonFalls Okay, the 2000th tweet is next. Please take a moment to click through, consider socially-valuable mashup ideas and help them get funded

JasonFalls Vote for Metro Mapper in the NetSquared mashup contest, today (Monday) only! http://www.metromapper.org/… (Sponsored Tweet)

 

I think selling of "tweets" is tacky but there's no law against it.

Hey Marshall,

I think selling Tweets is tacky, too. It was an experiment more to see reactions (like yours) that anything else. Just so your audience doesn't think I'm a tool, and if you get down to the bottom of my post, you'll see that I not only returned the money, but donated the same amount to the Frozen Pea Fund, if for anything to cleanse my soul. Heh. Thanks for writing about it though. It certainly was an interesting project.
