Instead of advertisers setting up their brands on Twitter would they be more effective cluing in on the Twitterati who are passionate about what their brands stand for? Product placement and shameless endorsements have long hit the film industry, music videos, gaming and blogosphere. Why not on Twitter? With proper assessment of your Twitter followers and the content you share brands can clue in on your value system. Should it match theirs and the audience they serve, which is most likely the audience you attract a brand endorsement match is possible. No more million dollar contracts for sports stars and celebrities hello Twitter stars! Of course the former is unlikely to happen, yet the latter highly possible. How much would a brand pay @KevinRose for a brand endorsement? How would such a move affect Twitterverse and the community that lives in it?
Have you been approached by a brand to tweet about their product and services?
Here’s my Why Are You Following abstraction which reflects an initial assessment of a Twitter member’s value system and their followers. Adding a science to this thought process could be a fun experiment. Anyone interested to participate?
