Taylor,
I'm glad Twitter thought to do this, but it still doesn't explain as
clearly as Ryan's post here about what's acceptable and what's not.
Not Acceptable:
Paid Tweets injected into any timeline on a service that leverages
the Twitter API (other than Promoted Tweets). This applies to any
Mo,
I think the word injected is causing the confusion. As I understand
it it means:
- I pull a list of tweets from the API into an array.
- Before displaying the list to the user, I inject entries that look
like tweets (but are actually entries I get paid to display) into that
array.
- Then I
Dewald,
Thanks for the clarification. What you're saying makes sense and is
in
line with what Ryan was saying. I hope you're right.

Taylor,
Read this part of that FAQ: Paid Tweets injected into any timeline on
a service that leverages the Twitter API (other than Promoted Tweets).
This applies to any Twitter stream, whether user based, search based,
or other.
Do you realize how confusing that is?

Sponsored Tweets at least announced that the content was advertising.
I think this language will just lead to advertising without proper
disclosure by the user (which was used in keeping with the FTC ruling
on this issue). Some celebs bloggers will still accept money Tweet

Taylor,
Perhaps you should ask someone to add the http://bit.ly/twitter-ad-faq
link as a further reading reference into the 2. Advertising Around
Twitter Content section of the API TOS.
Stuff is very fragmented at the moment, and you have to accidentally
discover pages on separate domains just
Dewald: I'll make that recommendation; I agree that relevant
information should be grouped together as much as possible.
Dean: The link to the support center FAQ on this topic is very clumsy
and long; there are still a number of email clients out there that
don't handle long links very well,

I'd love to see some clarification from Dick on this statement and/or

end of all advertising on Twitter not coming from Promoted Tweets.

Thanks for writing the clarification. It sounds as if the intent of

of Twitter data to Twitter mobile/web/desktop clients and inserting

Just so that I'm clear, the fact that Twitter chose to do this isn't a

The way this reads, you can't even have a WordPress blog that puts ads

You're misinterpreting it. There's not a problem if you're displaying

I want to voice support of this decision.
I build third party apps that are 100% about consuming, purposing, and
displaying tweet streams. If different clients inevitably begin selling
tweet injections, I really don't want to deal with those on my end.

Peter,
The strength of Twitter is that the user has control, not a
developer. If they want to post an offer on their page, or anything
else for that matter, for pay or just because they want to share one,
they should be allowed to. The Twitter infrastructure is a great
filter for weeding out
Does this mean that any tweet that promotes any event or item that is
not free (Such as, Tickets to the 2011 National Finals Rodeo go on
sale tomorrow.) violates the TOS?
Peter, I think the problem is that business have been created,
