Expanding what we think of as providing content
As usual there is a lot of ‘tweeting’ going on about business models for twitter, but I like Twitterboy’s take on it. He’s a Twitter content provider.
For a nominal fee, he’ll tweet for you, placing you in “awesome locations/situations, saying genuinely interesting and thought-provoking things”.
You inform him of your interests/reasons for being on Twitter, and pick one of his plans - three Tweets for $1.99; full profile takeover for $30; whatever.
I love how the microblogging trend has slipped from a fun thing to do in downtime, to a raison d’étre, to a chore, to a service you can subscribe to.
Who knew content design could fit in so small a space?
