Mashable: Twitter Ads Are Evil: Here’s Why
“…suddenly we have Sponsored Tweets, ad.ly and others offering to pay users to Tweet out their ad messages. Problem solved! Except it’s not. That’s the exact same outdated model of interruption-based advertising that we’ve been trying to block out with a TiVo or an internet ad blocker. We don’t want it. We’ll ignore it.
…my relationship with you is based on trust: if I’m suddenly getting paid to make recommendations to you rather than doing it in kind, do you put as much trust in me and my recommendations? Of course you don’t.”
