No More Making Money Off Twitter

From Twitter today:

For this reason, aside from Promoted Tweets, we will not allow any third party to inject paid tweets into a timeline on any service that leverages the Twitter API.

What does this mean? If you are a user of sites like Sponsored Tweets, then you can’t use them anymore unless they change how they operate.  Twitter’s post doesn’t explain who they are going after — I’m guessing its the companies making money.  My problem with Promoted Tweets is that it doesn’t do the user any good — just big name companies with open pockets.  I don’t make a cent off of it, Twitter does.  I don’t know — it seems to cross the line into stealing content because I don’t think they ask your permission or anything to use a Tweet you’ve done and turn it into a promoted tweet (I could be wrong and if I am please correct me).

That being said — I’ve added a new category to my advertising/media kit.  If you are a company looking for somebody to Twitter for you (I’ve got over 20,000 followers!), please head over there!

Sick and Sicker

I didn’t drop off the face of the earth.  I swear.  Instead, everyone in my house has decided to get sick including me.  Seriously.  I started with Will and his nasty cough that was keeping him up all night.  He still has the nasty cough a week later, but it’s not keeping him up.  Then we had me and my runny nose/sore throat.  Mine is off and on and more annoying than anything else.  Lastly, we have Madison.  Oh my Madison.  If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know what happened.  She threw up.  Now, if you read my blog regularly, you’ll know what happens when Madison throws up.  We end up in the hospital.  That’s been our life when this happens.  However, remember, we met with her geneticist, and we had a game plan.  Guess what?  The game plan worked!  We kept her hydrated with the special concoction we had to make for her.  She already has went back to school and no hospital visit!  Now, we have to manage to not get the flu again.  To make up for my blogging delay, here’s a picture of Bill and I on Halloween:
