For the life of me I fail to grasp how people have time for something as asinine as that. Teens and tweens, sure, but you have adults with full-time jobs and kids and everything tweeting like no tomorrow. My best guess, this is a flash in the pan and everyone will get bored of it sooner or later: the tamagotchi of web 2.0. I'm probably wrong about this. Some nutter will probably come up with something that's even more invasive and asinine. I too am perplexed by how much traction Twitter is getting.

Cruddy engineering, lots of money spent (sms), no clear revenue path. However, people will ride twitter until it is eaten by the next big thing (tm). I think twitter is the next myspace.

Many folks, even the sponsored programs use automatic Twitter adds to find friends and that's how most get 50,000+ followers/following, but if that list is not well maintained for targeting then it most likely will not convert. I'd prefer sponsoring a list of 10,000 follows if the profile is highly targeted and each follow is an actual target lead -- whereas the list is pruned periodically and does not just follow non-targeted leads for the sake of increased follows. However, those who actually have such managed profiles most likely do not offer any sponsored programs. Twitter has the potential for conversion, but the profile has to be highly targeted.

About the only thing I like about Twitter! Otherwise, I think it's just more internet clutter. I have multiple accounts for the sponsored tweets program. About the only thing I like about Twitter!
