Betweeted: A New Form of Twitter Advertising?

There was a new service released upon the Twitter world a couple of weeks ago from a firm in Indianapolis. Betweeted.  Here is the scoop from their website.

There’s not much to tell, really. Carter and Company, LLC is a marketing firm based out of Indianapolis, IN. We started down the path of blogging for clients several years ago, then that evolved into other areas of social media. Most recently, we decided to come up with a faster, better way to help companies be heard through social media while still keeping spam to a minimum. I think we’ve struck gold.

Yeah, you might have a lot of questions spinning through your head. Is this acceptable? Is it spamming? Can I, in good conscience, introduce my followers to links that I get paid to share? I would encourage you to read our FAQ. If you have any more direct questions, by all means, email us. Believe it or not, we read them.

I have been checking out BeTweeted for two reasons.

1. I know and like the owner and developer of the app and company
2. I’m skeptical of paid advertising and sharing on a social platform.

I wanted to send this out over the waves of social media to get some feedback about what people thought about the new service. I think it is a good idea and could amount to some pretty terrific marketing.

As long as you keep the personality involved.

So what do you think? Is the business model viable? I think so.
