This solution has caused a bit of indignation, and it is easy not only to see why, but also to join the side of those who oppose such a tool being released. In principle, Twitter Tornado is a fully automated advertising software that can be used to profit on Twitter.
This application enables the user to create unlimited Twitter accounts and use them for advertising purposes. That is, instead of posting updates the user posts advertisements that are sent and received as tweets.
It is easy to object to such an approach. This is not what Twitter is about, and while it is true that seasoned Twitterers will not make the mistake of following an automated service that sends out ads at a given frequency, newcomers might make such a mistake and even come out of it with a bad taste in their mouths.
When all is said and done, the debate of how to monetize Twitter goes on. The ones behind this tool offered their own take, but I fear that they went overboard. What do you think? Where should the line be drawn?
