New Feature: Earn M$ for posting questions to Twitter with your linked Twitter account. (Beta)?

I love this idea and I will use it; however, I won't do what I did this evening again... I tweeted 10 questions in a row. I am concerned that some people will abuse this and give Mahalo a bad name by "spamming" questions out to the world. I know that the Mahalo folks will make sure that is doesn't happen; however, it still concerns me.In the time that I did my little experiment, within 30 minutes I had two people complain and @lon sent me a reply.

In the two years that I have been with Mahalo and Twitter, I think @lon has @ replied to me twice (and this was the second). I think we need to re-think this idea. I love making the "extra" M$; however, I think we need to focus on content not features (mind you I love features, just this one is not ready for prime time, IMHO) I asked this question too: There is a new feature on Mahalo where you can make M$ by Tweeting the question to Twitter... will your friends get annoyed at you?

Being in TweetDeck when @buddawiggi started playing with this, I can see a possible major downside. I follow a fair number of Mahaloians, and if we all do this I'll be seriously spammed, and not be able to have real conversations with any of them. Bottom line is I'll then have to unfollow or move them to a group that I don't watch very closely.

A partial solution would be to include a keyword in all the tweeted questions that I can use to filter them out if I choose. That's only a partial solution because it only works with some clients, like TweetDeck on the desktop.

I love this new feature because it is something I do anyway and now I will be compensated for it! It is a great way to get more exposure and find people with similar interests. I do like the idea mentioned by philipy of using a keyword.

Great news. I love Twitter anyhow. I planned to tweet any interesting questions I found.

Now, I get paid for them. Sweet...:) I do agree with the comments of a few others, though. I'd space out the tweets or followers will start to get tired of the spam-like posts.Do we earn Mahalo points for tweeting pages as well?

Thanks for the info.

I really like this. It's cool and fun! I barely tweet so this will really help me fill in tweets!

Thanks Mahalo!

I think we should still have the option to tweet after chosing our top 10 questions for those people that like to tweet a lot, but not worth any money once more people get into tweeting more questions.

Sweet. Just made a little dough. Thank you very much!

I guess we have 10 tweets a day? I was told after tweeting that I had nine remaining.

Why did you not implement this 3 months ago, I have a thousand tweets since then =).

Good plan. I love the idea and it will work unless you tweet them all one after another.

Resist temptation to spam! Nobody likes spam on twitter. Also, the @answers twitter feature hasn't worked in a while.

I tried it now and posted 3 questions. People will be motivated to ask questions. Great feature.

This is totally exciting :) Twittering with a purpose is better than twitter becasue you can :) Thanks Mahalo :).

I tweeted these tonight. mahalo.com/answers/buffalo-bills/did-the... http://www.mahalo.com/answers/presidents-and-vice-presidents/warren-g-harding-29th-pres-of-the-us-his-love-letters-are-under-court-seal-until-2023-what-would-you-have-asked-this-interesting-man mahalo.com/answers/groups-and-organizati... mahalo.com/answers/home-electronics/what... mahalo.com/answers/companies/which-compa... I thought that these questions would have the most universal appeal.

I think it will be a good thing. Because it allows more people to answer questions witch will incress Mahalo's profitableity.

Badass! What a excellent idea! How will this work for questions that already have a best answer chosen however?

I hope you guys really think about the possibility of keeping this around. Hell even if I can only do this a few times a day, this is really a great encouragement to decipher my most important questions to post to twitter! BEAUTIFUL WAY TO END A NIGHT!

THANK YOU J! Have a wonderful Labor Day everyone! =P!

Luckily I have a spare twitter account that no-one reads :) The payment seems to be dependant on how many others have already tweeted that question. The first one gets $0.10, the next person gets $0.09 etc... However, there is no way to know which question has been tweeted already, so you don't know your potential earnings. I tweeted the 'most significant event' question, and was apparently third.

I tweeted some very old questions, and got $0.10 for all of them. BUG REPORT: It seems that you are not allowed to change the text. I tried tweeting this question, but wanted to delete the (beta) part.

I got an error on that. It did count as one of my tweets though. That would be quite annoying, as many questions have mahalo tags, which I would like to remove before tweeting.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
