When twitter stated it ran via SMS, that was twitter as about as lite as you can get data wise.
SO in effect they created a problem to promote a solution that is still short of what they had originally.
Now I understand they need to make money but I personally find the promoted tweets they offer do seem to miss the target and are in need of some refinements in who they promote towards. I find it rare to find a promoted tweet that is relevant and the amount of PPI promoted tweets which I have objected to and still do is a clear sign of needing better control. Be that from analytics or even allowing the user to select preferences in a way that suits them better and by that aid Twitter in presenting relevant adverts.
I would be interested in seeing how well advertisers get on with there promoted tweets as I see so many with comments that indicated those targeted are clearly not the market audience and as such, very negative. Indeed I do that to PPI adverts, as a cathartic release of how I loath them.
that said if I see a promoted tweet of interest or of merit, even if not what I would use then I will support it. Only the other day was one for passports for toys, I don't even have children, let alone a teddy bear these days. But loved the idea and fed back my encouragement and had a most delightful exchange with the owners. Have to encourage and support positive avenues in life.

- Zenst 10y agoWAT, No that was not the point I was making. The point I was making was twitter have done this to produce a lower usage client for users who are still upon the likes of 2G networks and with that they already had SMS, which is about as lite as you can get upon that platform. As for the rest of your assertions, that is entirely a different matter and not one I raised in the slightest.
