Advertising on Twitter = Sex in Public

pig shagger There has been a lot of services cropping up lately allowing you to make money off of your Twitter stream by dumping advertising of one form or another into it. I’ve been strongly opposed to this and have on more than one occasion stated that I will unfollow anybody using these services.

I’ve know inside that this form of advertising is wrong, yet couldn’t quite come up up with a good analogy considering I have advertising on my blog.

Today I think may have cracked that analogy:

Advertising on your blog is like having sex at home, you can do whatever you want in your home and it’s your own private business. If people don’t like it they can shag off.

Advertising on your Twitter stream in like going out and humping on the bonnets of peoples cars in the middle of main street.

Nobody wants to see it, nobody should see it, nobody signed up to see it!
