In my opinion, it's better to know what's an ad and what's not. A lot of people tweet under the guise of not marketing, when they are and are just not being strait about it.

I've used it for offering services in the past, and found it very effective. I'd happily follow some such policy and would pay a dollar per tweet. Would be happy that was split 50/50 between the reader and twitter corp. Tim. I agree. I’ve used it for offering services in the past, and found it very effective.

I want to make it clear that this idea is not a reaction to danw's comment, it's just an idea to try to make the gray area of 'direct tweets about a product/service I sell' a bit more clear for everyone involved...and something which might offer a glimpse of the elusive Twitter business model, which was something that tickled me enough to post this... :) Re: $$ being tacky, you are right. Maybe @$ looks better, like a twisted face wearing a little bow-tie? ;) It would literaly mean "direct message (the @ part) about money (the $ part)".

"injecting yourself into conversations" is what Twitter's all about. It would be completely different if you were spamming random people, but you are not. When I Tweeted asking questions about prototyping tools, you responded with a link to Balsamiq Mockups. I never viewed this as an advertisement: you were clearly answering my question, and in fact I find the tool quite useful. I would not prefix with $$. I think that looks tacky and something like that tag should be saved for the real spammers. You should continue telling people about Mockups, just only do so when they are already asking questions or looking for similar tools. danw is way too up tight. “injecting yourself into conversations” is what Twitter’s all about.
