Social Payment

Apparently there are a couple companies, Pay With a Tweet and SocialWhisper, with an interesting service offering to use WOM through Facebook and Twitter as a form of payment. It seems like an interesting idea to directly tie discounts on products to tweeting, somewhat like Foursquare's new feature linking check ins with rewards programs. Frankly this seems like a much better solution than promoted tweets.

  1. One of the articles mentions uses for this: "If you are a DJ, Musician, Video Producer, Writer, Journalist, Artist, Brand or a Service Provider you can allow your materials to be distributed socially to go viral."

    It seems this is a great way to gain awareness. Does awareness eventually equal long-term profit?
