As you’ve probably noticed I’ve been away for some time (do I see a puzzled face there? :). That wasn’t a vacation, quite on the contrary: my colleague and I have been working on a project we had in mind long ago, which was initially named CIO Happy Hour.
Planning started about 6 months ago, and the vision of the project has changed greatly several times (that is quite an interesting story also) morphing into experience exchange platform for successful people and companies all over the web. I’m proud to present you CIO Happy Hour – my first mature creation, which reflects current state of the web and combines all the best features that social internet can offer for both businesses and customers.
I’ve just received a letter from www.paymetweets.com introducing their new service that is “the first “Micro-Promotional” tool made for Twitterers.”
It works very simple: you are either buying or selling your influence on twitter. In case you would like to make money, you retweet only the tweets you like. The service doesn’t take control of your twitter stream (as the authors claim), however, the application works via an OAuth protocol and can do whatever it likes on behalf of your name. Furthermore, you know exactly how much you will earn and will be paid as soon as the RT happens.
PayMeTweets also works as a twitter exchange – you can earn money by retweeting and later sell your own content.
What are your regular rules? Do you auto-follow everyone? What is the ultimate thing that will make you follow a person right away? Please share your tips and experience!
Seriously, aren’t you tired to see the same fields you have to enter information into every time you are visiting a new service? Aren’t you fed up with thinking of new passwords? Let’s be fair, most of the time you are just sticking to the same password as you are too lazy to think of new ones. What is more important, you won’t be able to remember which password should be used exactly at which website.
Don’t shout the “OpenID” word. Does your mom know what the hell this means and how can she use it? Now you are telling me there is Clickpass? Right, go figure how to sign in with that tool… if you can, of course.
