- carbocation 12y agoThe comment is probably glib but to respond to it in seriousness: Twitter is a place where you bathe in the stochastic. Why not see if it's also a place where people will make buying decisions based on the same? I think it's an idea worthy of experimentation.
- chrisan 12y agoJust a guess you aren't following "random" companies but rather things you are interested in? OcculusVR: New Rift is out! [Buy] SXSW: Tickets on sale now! [Buy] JKRowling: Just release my new Book [Buy] Steam: [Some new Triple A game] is released [Buy] RaspberryPi: New Pi Beowulf cluster available for purchase [Buy] RedCross: [Some disaster] we need your support [Donate] (I'm sure a donate will come along if this works) Anywho, there have to be _tons_ of impulse buyers in the world. People will click
- liotier 12y ago> (I'm sure a donate will come along if this works) That would be a very relevant functionality : Twitter is all instant emotion and therefore a perfect platform for impulse donations !
