This begs the question: how does Twitter define a "paid" tweet? Does payment from advertiser to service or service to publisher matter? Do both? What about Foursquare/Gowalla checkins? Would those count as "paid"? What if a business rewards its mayor for all his checkins... do the mayor's tweets now count as "paid"?
- pyre 16y agoThey did say that they are going to clarify that...
- patio11 16y agoMuch like "How does Google define if a link is paid?", asking this question is less useful than you'd think: they're under no particular obligation to have consistent standards, enforce them without caprice, or avoid changing them on a whim and/or retroactively. Plus, even if your conduct is currently kosher, they can always invent a new policy that you've already broken tomorrow.
