It is impossible to stop being monetizing anything on the web. People are always finding ways to make money. If a business owns a Twitter account and the employee is constantly building it to reach out to others by linking to its causes either directly or indirectly then that employee is being PAID to TWEET just like many blogs are created to direct others to business interests indirectly and people involved are essentially being paid to blog.

This is mostly a move by Twitter to make using their service more enjoyable for everyone. Nobody wants to sift through spam in their e-mail, much less on their social networks. Magpie had a great idea, and it was all within the ToS, but they had to know it was too good to last very long. When spam enters the playing field, it doesn’t take long for everyone to realize something needs to be changed. The time has come, and Twitter realized that third party ads are going to mostly be used by spammers for their own greed. Advertising should always be minimally invasive or an option for users and viewers.

I like making extra cash just like anyone else, but I have to agree with Twitter on this one. It’s not putting a complete end to all advertising on Twitter. It’s just limiting it in order to protect the user experience. I find spam posts to be very annoying and I have frequently unfollowed people who started out being interesting and quickly disintegrated into nothing but repeated spam posts with a real post thrown in now and then. Multiply that by a dozen or so people doing the same thing and before you know it, you’re having to sort through the spam posts to find the real stuff worth reading.
