I think it shows how immature a platform is when a customer does all of the data crunching that the host should do for you:
1. Downloading the full list of top influential twitter users from trst.me (~22K users).
2. Hacking ad.ly's URLs and then downloading a big list of people you can advertise with.
3. Cross checking with the trst.me list to only keep top influencers.
4. Cross checking that output with the twitter API to only keep people recently retweeted.
5. Taking that subset and downloading ad.ly info including price, followers, & avg tweets.
6. Filter out people > 10 tweets/day and then sort by price/follower count.
(Granted this is what I do with Google Adwords and Adsense all the time, but you would never see me calling them immature [or maybe just complacent?])
