I fully agree - these ads only serve to glom onto other user's follow lists, and aren't that effective anyway. They don't work for the advertiser OR the owner of the Twitter account, they just work for the company facilitating the ads. This is becoming a pretty common issue, of course. I was saying similar things about "Magpie" last year, and it faded into mediocrity in short order.

I think that's how all of these programs will eventually fade out: Someone gives it a shot, sees how it doesn't work, abandons it. If there were a way to completely sell out my integrity on Twitter, I'd do it - I'm no angel. But since none of them are effective, for now it doesn't really matter.
