Interesting article - the only question I had was about the "Pay with a tweet" to get upgrade/unlock extra features. I've started seeing this and actually thought it was kind of clever. Are most annoyed by this?

I understand the point of the article though that you're missing out on the impact of big influencers as they're not likely to tweet to their thousands upon thousands of followers.



I would never 'pay with a tweet', unless I made it completely clear that I was being forced to do it, and didn't actually agree with anything I was saying. I suspect that wouldn't make the person paying happy.


Interesting, I guess if I had more than a few followers I'd feel the same. For now though, I just go ahead because I figure nobody's going to see it anyways.


Incredibly annoyed. In such cases, I use an alternate account no one follows and my perception of the company takes a big hit.


That's exactly what I was getting at. Thanks gyardley
