Ad.ly - twitter spam marketing is the future

Submitted url is content void spam.

At least they show who is spamming:

http://ad.ly/publisher-list/

So you can unfollow.

I think this is a bit of a naive post from dotcoma... Twitter haven't waited this long to just spam adverts at people randomly.

Twitter are smarter than that. I think they will be more Hyper-targeted adverts that will be way more subtle than annoying. That's what I would be thinking about doing.

I've had experience of putting what I'm trying to do on Twitter and having a company send me a message offering their service. I'm not sure if it was a bot or not.

It occurred to me that maybe in a few years time we won't be googling for stuff by rather just "asking twitter" and automated bots/crawlers will respond based on where I am, what I asked for and details from my profile.

If twitter could bake in some kind of spam prevention (or reputation system?) it might just work.

I've been running a Twitter feed for http://Newsley.com for about a month or two. I've been stunned at how much spam is already on twitter.

Just as publishers have the right to monetize their websites and blogs, they should have the right to monetize the content they produce on Twitter.
