If Twitter started profiling me and providing targeted ads based on what I say, I wonder if I would begin to provide fewer and fewer useful nouns in my messages over time.

- mcdowall 18y agohttp://be-a-magpie.com/ http://be-a-magpie.com/ are already using the information in my tweets to post ads based on my content. There is a community wide negativity towards serving ads to your followers. With Twitter still unable to come up with a definitive financial model (pay per tweet / tweet advertising / monthly subscription etc) then companies like this will continue to pop up until they lay down a marker.

- josefresco 18y agoOh the horror! Advertisers knowing what I like, dislike and want to purchase. The humanity! Look I'm about as tin-foil hatted as they come but isn't this what we'd prefer instead of carpet bombing us with ads for shit we'd never buy?
