A new Twitter service called Super Chirp was launched today that lets Twitter users get paid for their content stream.
There’s a huge market for celebrity fan pages that Super Chirp hopes to tap into. Since Twitter is mobile and simple enough to keep updated, unlike most fan pages, celebrities are sure to jump at the money making opportunity. Britney Spears currently has 1.7 million Twitter followers, most of whom may be interested in more personal or, as Super Chirp puts it ‘Premium’ content for $1 a month. And for those figures, which celebrity wouldn’t?!
Super Chirp works through direct messages (Twitter’s private message system). That means publishers can leverage their existing Twitter accounts to promote the paid streams. Users subscribe to the content on the Super Chirp site, pay via Paypal, and then get the messages via DM. They can also visit Super Chirp to see all those paid messages, and sort them by publisher. This is a natural product for celebrities to embrace. But it’s also an idea that would sit well with charities, news organisations, even businesses. I-net Bridge could offer financial updates, weather news can be ‘sold’ as well as anything under the sun that has a large Twitter following already.
And here you thought Twitter was just another fad!
