Why off-stream Twitter advertising is good for Twitter

I recently came across (and started using) a new website called FeaturedUsers.com. They are a Twitter app ad network:

…If you’re a Twitter user, it’s a great way to get more followers and support your favorite Twitter apps. If you’re a Twitter app developer, it’s a simple way to start monetizing your application.

The basic idea is that Twitter users can gain exposure and followers by paying to have their Twitter details show up on various Twitter app websites. The idea is simple, cheap, and will not turn you into a Twitter superstar overnight. However, it’s a great way to help support 3rd party Twitter apps and gain some followers in the process.

As Twitter spam is on the rise, many are quick to denounce anything that even looks like spam on Twitter (and usually with good reason). This kind of Twitter ad network is a great alternative to spamming people directly on Twitter. Advertising yourself here still gets your name in front of a highly targeted audience (Twitter users) without cluttering up people’s tweet streams.

In a way, FeaturedUsers.com helps keep spam out of your twitter stream. And that should make any tweep happy.

Check ‘em out over at FeaturedUsers.com.
