I believe this is the real reason behind the new retweet feature. They're trying to condition us to see strange people in our tweet streams. Strange people that will soon be advertisers.

Time will tell.

Your not the only one who thinks that advertising on twitter is wrong, even detrimental to its stability and future growth. Im with you there. They are promising an advertising model of some description that will “rock”… not sure how and am most certainly interested to see how they implement it and how they roll it out but currently I'm sceptical that it will be beneficial to the core values that twitter itself has, the very values that have mad it so popular, and as of this moment I can only see these values being “rocked” rather than being reinforced.

There are so many ways that twitter could generate independent revenue that I think I would need to start a new blog with all the angles to cover it! But I guess we can only wait and see what happens.
