Hm, at first this is not a bad idea.
As opposed to spam or other Twitter ad-networks where you need thousands of followers before you can earn a dollar, this creates a win-win situation for both the payer and the payee. Instead of hoping that people who downloaded your free product will recommend it to others, you can now rely on it.
However, you tweet before you have seen the product. Thus you might be recommending crap to your followers that you would rather warn them about.

- prawn 16y agoNot every, just most. The time I saw this used, I was quite interested to learn of the concept (as an entrepreneur admiring the idea) and find out about the band being promoted. I've seen it once, which is a lot less than I've seen people checking in with Foursquare stuff which is excruciatingly boring.
- dho 16y agoYou could use an account with no real followers.
- whatusername 16y agoJust like we all have something like a fake/spam email address (that we give out to the sites we don't care about) -- we'll end up with fake twitter accounts. Also - can't we just filter this out from a client?
- prawn 16y agoTweeting before you have seen/heard the product is an issue, but you can at least customise the message when you "pay" - e.g., "About to check out the new Band X download. See what you think: http..." Stumbled across Pay With A Tweet in the wild a couple of weeks ago and thought it was quite novel. That said, I didn't know that it let you customise the message and didn't really know the band I was checking out, so I didn't make use of it.
