Look what happened on my Tweet stream yesterday morning!

Too funny, right? Now, I have to say that, so far, I have not at all been bothered by Sponsored Tweets. I kind of thought I would be. I thought I really would not like the service (and I’m a strong supporter of IZEA, too – so that felt a bit strange to me. But the reality has been that the tweets have been at times interesting, and when they’re not anything that pertains to me, I just skip over them. I can do that, because, I’m not being bombarded with them all. day. long. So if a tweet comes in every now and again that just doesn’t interest me – no big deal.

I’ve been so surprised by the service and my reactions to it, that I actually signed up myself. I haven’t received any offers, though, so I can’t tell you how it is from that side of it.

I just really thought this was funny, that five tweets – just about simultaneously – came through my stream yesterday morning. I guess that advertiser, or whomever ‘pulls the trigger’ on the tweets, needs to be careful about letting them loose. I was even intrigued by that particular ad, as I have a friend up the street who is a travel agent and I’m always jealous of her constant traveling. So yes – my eyeballs went ‘Oooh!’ at the first tweet ….but, then when they kept coming – I just had to laugh!

And yes, I know, I need to go back to Arrow Drawing School. Very funny.

About The Author

Lisa Marie Mary
Lisa is a work at home mom of three kids, two of whom are taller than she, and she is just barely getting over the shock of that. She loves kids and also children’s education, with a strong leaning toward literacy. She eats books for breakfast - and has raised her kids to do the same. Her boys read faster than lightning itself, and she really doesn’t understand that 'fast-forward reading' nonsense. She is sure one day it’s going to be hard to admit to their superior intellect. Not today, though. Lisa also loves the internet like there is no tomorrow! She cannot. get. enough. She’s grown to love marketing from hanging out online with a bunch of internet marketing geeks. She loves to read marketing books and industry magazines. She also loves animals, trucks, and living simply. It’s one more sad fact of Lisa’s polarity, that her love for all kinds of big, air-polluting machines and trucks belies her desire to live an eco-conscious life. A true Gemini, indeed.
