Of course I read the post... The spam line goes like this: If you're tweeting to someone you don't know (unsolicited) about a product/service/etc (advertising), then it's spam. Here's an example: I don't know you, I get a tweet from you that says "you should try out <such and such>" <- spam I'm not really trying to say anything about your idea of paid tweets. I would pay to not ever seen them, for instance. I don't see how twitter would benefit (other than financially, and I'd say that is far from certain) from some sort of scheme where you pay to be able to spam people.
