ot crazy about the URL shortener: it uses one extra character over my preferred shortener, bit.ly.

I have to say that characterizing the recent change in groups as beefing up is to me exceedingly non-intuitive.

Bruce, well said! Kyle's (and everyone's) concern however about spam are also needing to be addressed. Just like telemarketers abuse phone priveleges, spammers tend to abuse mediums like Twitter.

BeTweeted is a reputable, honest site. It encourages social responsibility, and you can really make a little extra money doing it. Check my blog about it. Http://betweeted.blogspot.com

I like FREE as much as the next guy. But the truth is that nothing in commerce happens until somebody sells something. I am amazed that we can believe that social space should be FREE!

The word free has always been attached to the free enterprise system. But we have miss-identified the term, if we are telling businesses that they must offer great service for FREE.

Someday selling advertising space and gathering money from VC's will dry up. Then we will find that life on the web is not always FREE.

It is time to monetize and be proud of the fact that we have found a way to do it in our Free Enterprise System.

Do you think that using some type of disclosure and not doing it constantly will keep it from dying? I think so.

I think it has the potential to kill Twitter if it gets to the point of overpopulating the viable messages in the service. We are going to see an upward trend of services exactly like this pushing into the forefront.

I know that I have yet to see one Twitter ad in my entire use of the service. Disclosure is key. There has got to be a way to monetize social media. It needs to happen in order for the medium to survive.

stuff like this is what will eventually kill Twitter. In the meantime I'm glad to see someone local recognizing the window of opportunity before it closes.

Really this is a conversation about authenticity in social media. It's like porn "I know it when I see it". If you can pass that test then more power to ya!
