I can’t believe this, but its true. As I was going through my emails, I saw a mail from twittad.

Here is the details(screen shot) that I got in my Twittad account after activating the advertisement.
To kick start their business, they have started self promotion(they have started advertising about Twittad itself). I think all the twitter users who have signedup for Twittad and have set the price tag 5$ and below, have got this email from Twittad. This campaign is better than providing 5$ bonus for signingup as Twittad publisher 🙂 . And there is nothing to worry for Twittad, because they promise to pay only when your account reaches 20$ ! Hope no one will reach it(atleast not in the near future).
And I don’t think this concept is going to work. Because I myself rarely visit anybodies profile while I am chatting to them on Twitter. So where is the value for advertisers?
I had just signed up for Twittad out of curiosity. And I even fear that, my twitter account may get banned for using it for making some bugs!
Anyway, I don’t use Twitter quite often, so thought of giving it a try. And I am not actually interested in making any money from my twitter account using TwittAd, but I wanted to write an article about it, so just signedup and used it, to know something about it, before writing.
Here is the link to my twitter profile . Visit my profile to see TwittAd advertisement concept live(Only till 17/10/2008 ) 🙂
I have read on other blogs that they use Twittad to generate traffic so I’ll give it try, but I really don’t see the appeal of letting my friends know in real time that I’m getting a lap dance at the so and so club in San Diego.
I’m not on twitter atm. it seems a little bit wrong though. I’m not sure i understand – did you have a choice to do this?

@GM, @sean, I am just trying it inorder to make a blog post about it, and not really to make any pocket money out of it 🙂
the best idea should be create as many as fake twitter profiles but make sure you have generated mannnnnnny followers ,then just forget that twitter will ban, u should hav ur own acc safe 🙂
