How is this any different than any other free service hosting ads on their site?
As much as folks retweet contest ads from SyFy and the like, even if someone retweets a promoted tweet it's really not going to make *that* much difference in the grand scheme of things (except that I'll be more inclined to unfollow them if they do it overmuch). Furthermore, I get texts from certain companies outside of twitter for updates on shows (Bravo being one of the mentioned promoters, for instance) or product discounts (Tropical Smoothie). While I would consider paying a quarterly fee for the service twitter provides, I'm just as happy if they find some corporate sponsors and keep it free.
