A new service has been launched which allows you to become a magpie and earn money from Twitter. This new service, named Be a Magpie looks to match common words that you tweet with willing advertisers and earn you money in return for exposure of their message.
The website itself looks quite professional but in order to create an account, you must give them your Twitter password. This could be dangerous, and I can envisage people setting up similar-looking services in order to gain access to Twitter accounts.
The first step of the signup process will evaluate your Twitter account and estimate how much you are likely to earn on a monthly basis. I’ve been told I could potentially earn 0.44 Euros per month (according to XE.com is 0.566309 USD).
Even if this service was to offer me substantially more money each month, I wouldn’t be signing up. People are signing up to become my followers to hear about what I am doing and what I have to say, not to be bombarded with advertising messages. I’m sure my 16 followers will agree that they would prefer not to receive marketing messages via Twitter and if anybody I follow starts using a service like this, I won’t be following them for much longer.

Smells like a scam to me. And 0.44 euros a month. I’ll be a millionaire by the time i turn 10,000.

I totally agree with you Darren. First of all I would never ever give out a password like that but secondly I think that the reason Twitter has become as popular as it has is due to the fact that it isn’t jammed with ads.

Twitter is annoying. There are more sites out there jumping on the microblogging platform. It was only a matter of time before a service like this would come about.

I like twitter, and a source of extra income in this depreesing economy, even better, but giving away password, need to evaluate.
