I think they should not allow advertisements on the same stream as they do news. It cluters things up and ruins the value of twitter as a resource. If people want advertisements, maybe they can make a TwitterAd stream, there are tons of people looking for great bargains, and I am sure that stream would be as successful as twitter prime. Those companies who continue to put ads where news should go should be banned or something.

@A Stoner, agreed. As far as I'm concerned, it's not really any different to spamming.

Twitter is defined as a Social Networking site. Not a Business Networking site. If you want to do Business Networking try LinkedIn.

I never used it either. I am just making a moral statement on what seems and injustice, where businesses are taking advantage of a medium and like another poster stated, spamming.

Hiya,

I'm actually an avid twitter user and A Stoner has probably been commenting on Tom's Guide longer than I have. I used to work for .co.uk before I worked on .com and TG. Fairly sure we've had some disagreements along the way too! Nice lad though.

Cheers for your feedback!
