Thank you all for the feedback. At Ad.ly, we believe that twitterers produce valuable content and that they should be compensated for doing so. For advertisers, we’re launching our self serve solution soon which will add a lot of fuel to the fire. The publishers here who haven’t gotten offers will get some soon… stay tuned and we look forward to working with all of you. This is Sean Rad, CEO of Ad.ly. Thank you all for the feedback.

The issue is disclosure. If you have an arrangement where your content is being paid for, you have to disclose that arrangement. It's now the law, not just a moral standard. Ad.ly does not seem to enforce disclosure. That's a problem. David Community Manager, Scribnia.com Uh, did we completely forget the whole issue over sponsored tweets?

Ad.ly does not seem to enforce disclosure.

That’s a problem.

I expect to see ads on websites--there are many costs involved and it's how I "pay" for using the site. Howeverm it costs you nothing to use Twitter, so why should I be forced to have ads on my twitter feeds so you can make money? If I got paid to read them, perhaps, but otherwise, I gain nothing by having them take up space on my feed. I wonder what the follower cost will be as people's feeds get tangled up in ads? Promoting your own site, yes. That's probably why I followed you. Otherwise, no. I remove people who insert advertising into their tweets.

The only problem that I see really coming up in the near future is all the people signed up with the program who are just about the dollars. Being about the dollars is great, trust me, but promoting just any offer that comes your way can impact your brand and what you do in a negative way. The great thing is that those who recognize that can pick and choose what they want to tweet out. Ad.ly has some really great things going for it.

Twitter has too much value as a conversation, and this just expands upon the evils that Twitterfeed has already foisted upon us. No way.

I am just wondering, how it is different from any other Twitter advertising except the apple MacBook. But, is not that how you advertise your tweets on Twitter ?

I am going to give it a try. I do wonder how it will change the aesthetics of the page and tweets etc. Sounds almost too good to be true considering the control freaks of advertising world.

Now that ad.ly is paying a massive 12% referral money this is one nicely missed opportunity leaving money on the table!
