Tweet For Canadian Pharmacy Definitely Not Friend’s
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010Just three hours after popular social networking application Twitter announced the addition of sponsored Tweets, retail clerk and Twitter user Ryan Baumgarten confirmed that the Tweet promoting “gr8 deals on Cialis & Viagra” at an unnamed Canadian pharmacy was probably not from friend and fellow Twitter user Ced Needlemeier. The Tweet, which hit Baumgarten’s feed at 12:32 p.m. Tuesday, reportedly came from Needlemeier’s @NeedleInAHaystack account, but lacked his recognizable voice. ”There’s no way that was Ced, man,” said Baumgarten. ”He’s always blabbing on about the ‘Ra Ra Riot Tix’ he just scored, or how hot the girl at ‘S-Bucks was who served him his Carml Mach.’ I mean, this was obviously one of those ads, man. Why does Twitter gotta sellout like this? Can’t they just leave us to make #DrakesEyebrows a trending topic without trying to make money?”
