[...] At least for the moment, opt-in promotional tweeting may be the only way to leverage the eyeballs of the exploding Twitter user base without creating culture shock. After all, for the short term, I doubt the social media community’s going to get behind Twitter pitches to friends. For example, people seem to object near unanimously to the recent experiment by famed blogger Robert Scoble (@scobleizer), who recently pitched Seagate hard drives to his huge follower list. [...]

At least he’s being transparent which is what all bloggers in the UK will need to do come the end of May 2008 – when it’ll be an offence to sell something or actively promote something without alerting readers to your motives / payments from an advertiser.

Web agencies should take note, but this has massive implications for the music industry and their online brand ambassadors (also known as e-teams).

So what if Scoble puts an “ad” in his messages? Seriously. This was 1 tweet out of most likely 20-30 that he does on an average day. It was most likely lost in the noise by most users.

The real question is how will twitter find a way to monetize and possibly insert ads into tweets? Or should they?

Only purists seem to want to keep everything ad free. The reality is that smart ad insertion into twitter feeds that are relevant and add value just might make sense as a partial revenue model for twitter.

If i twitter that i am going to go eat sushi: why not have twitter tweet me a discount code for a free glass of saki at a local sushi joint (provided i opted in)? It just might influence my decision of where to go eat.

Third party applications that are built off the twitter API are already inserting ads into the twitter stream. I use the twitter iPhone app from thin cloud and they insert an advertisement at the top of the tweet stream. This does not bother me a bit (sometimes it is relevant). I am already becoming somewhat blind to the ad.

Cheers!

Pownce has ads in the middle of the stream, and nobody complains of that.

I actually stopped following Scoble on Twitter last week because I found him incredibly obnoxious and disagreeable. I just kept seeing tweets show up in Pidgin (what I use to follow tweets) from him to other people arguing with them about something they said. I don’t need to read that.

23,000 is still small in terms of viral reach… micro-blogging is a microcosm for micro-marketers who want to generate micro-revenue.

Oh come on, how many of you do really know all your disks label nowadays. Look over your desktop. Then turn to your laptop. Unless you’re into the ‘hard disk’ trends you probably have no clue or you forgot all about it. Let’s be fair, when Seagate will stop rocking at least Scoble would be the first one to let us know

I think video (seesmic, Qik, Kyte, etc) will open up a whole new ad realm. Perhaps Vloggers can join golfers, with caps and shirts ablaze with logos … or Nascar racers slathered with Brands. Hey, why not try that in video comments here at TCrunch
