Ad.ly - twitter spam marketing is the future
- d4nt 17y agoI've had experience of putting what I'm trying to do on Twitter and having a company send me a message offering their service. I'm not sure if it was a bot or not. It occurred to me that maybe in a few years time we won't be googling for stuff by rather just "asking twitter" and automated bots/crawlers will respond based on where I am, what I asked for and details from my profile. If twitter could bake in some kind of spam prevention (or reputation system?) it might just work.
- Roridge 17y agoYou are right about "asking Twitter". That is something that Facebook have been teasing Google with for years, that they could be a better search engine because results would come based on your friends results. I think this is very realistic reaction, people listen to the people they trust more than someone on I'm feeling Lucky. I'm basing my own startup on exactly that ethos.
- Roridge 17y agoI think this is a bit of a naive post from dotcoma... Twitter haven't waited this long to just spam adverts at people randomly. Twitter are smarter than that. I think they will be more Hyper-targeted adverts that will be way more subtle than annoying. That's what I would be thinking about doing.
- axod 17y agoAt least they show who is spamming: http://ad.ly/publisher-list/ http://ad.ly/publisher-list/ So you can unfollow.

- iamelgringo 17y agoI've been running a Twitter feed for http://Newsley.com http://Newsley.com for about a month or two. I've been stunned at how much spam is already on twitter.
- JohnMunez 17y agoJust as publishers have the right to monetize their websites and blogs, they should have the right to monetize the content they produce on Twitter.
