But in the meantime, here's a follow-up on my post on sponsored conversation: sponsored tweets.
Izea is planning a launch of a new ad platform called "Sponsored Tweets." And just like it sounds, this new spinoff will pay people to tweet.Groan.
In my post on sponsored conversation I really tried to be open-minded about the whole concept and to respect Chris Brogan's argument that it's important to experiment with ways to monetize blogs. But I fear that the desperate throng of people and businesses focused purely on monetizing the social web may destroy the norm of authenticity which has helped make it so great in the first place.
