Web App: 1 Million Tweets

This item was filed under [ web apps ]

1 Million Tweets is a web service aimed at having users pay $1 to send tweets to be included in a 1 Million Tweets book.

Features:

  • website allows users to create and send tweets for $1 each
  • tweets will be included in a book

The Good:

According to the 1 Million Tweets website, one of the objects is to raise money for charity (10% of all proceeds). That is a good thing. The site also allows for promotion of companies and causes via 1 Million Tweets.

The Not-so-Good:

1 Million Tweets isn’t so much an application as it is a project. If you want to pay $1 per tweet to participate in the project, that’s fine. At least some of it will go to charity. Simple math tells us that if one million tweets get sent at $1 each and only 10% goes to charity, then 90% (an awful lot of money) will go to the project developer(s). By sending a tweet through 1 Million Tweets the user is granting an irrevocable license as to the use of its content.

It isn’t for us to say whether this is good, bad or ugly, but there are some things users may want to consider before participating.
