A couple of days ago we released a new feature in Twitt.US, our tweet exchange, which lets you set up to 6 different messages. The benefit of this is that the exchange will randomly select one of your messages for the users to tweet, and therefore the readers will not get borred by the same message over and over again.

We still recommend you to update your messages once in a while just to make sure you're not spamming.

Some words about Twitt.US:

Twitt.US is a new creative exchange where users can exchange messages with each other to give more exposure to your own tweets. By tweeting messages for other people you earn credits, which then can be exchanged in tweets of your own messages.  Twitt.US also got a referral program where you can earn even more credits by telling people about this fantastic service. You get 10% of the credits earned by people you've referred to Twitt.US for their entire membership time.

If you have suggestions for new features we should add in Twitt.US, please have a look at this discussion at Xavier Forum.

As many other Twitter users we've been trying to earn some extra cash on our Twitter tweets using be-a-magpie.com, and as many others we've been disappointed by the complete lack of earnings

Be-a-magpie.com is a service where advertisers will pay you to tweet their messages to your followers. That way you will earn some money doing this and the advertisers get a broader audience (your followers attention).

In theory this sounds extremely good, but in reality it hasn't been working with be-a-magpie.com. Since we started using them we've only seen their standard ad promoting their own affiliate program where you as the tweeter will get percentage on the income generated by the users you've referred. But since they don't seem to have any advertisers at all none of the users you refer will ever earn any money . Because of that their affiliate program is completely worthless….

We're not the only one thinking this. Just have  a look at the message we got from birdynumnumz on Twitter:

@xaviermedia that magpie thing is a dud, why bother tweeting that crap any longer?

We've dropped be-a-magpie.com for good and will look for other ways to earn money using Twitter.
