Thanks for the clarification, Ryan. This distinction isn't clear in the original blog post. I also wasn't sure what the difference was between me posting a message that I love Reebok shoes and Starbucks posting they have a special on Frappuccinos. If advertising was prohibited from Tweets, it would apply to commercial accounts as well as individual ones. But you say that's not the case.
At this point, I'm not sure what services DO fall under the prohibition guidelines but I guess they are ones where the users have given advertisers blanket control to post whatever they want on their Tweetstream. In effect, this sounds like advertising spam with a third party taking over individual users' accounts. Liz [email protected]
