Twitter files suit against 5 spam tool providers

Thank god I didn't buy this (I was just about to last month, just before they shut down). Anyway, someone is inevitably going to make a replacement software for TweetAttacks soon, and from a place where Twitter can't get their legal hands on them.
 


my brain is full of fuck.

Terms are Terms. They are a contract. Courts enforce them and uphold them every day. I give it 3 years before having terms/privacy is required on your website if you sell anything or market anything or if your website isn't based on a geocities page from 1997.

The thing is they charged a 1-time fee to buy the software, so that means they're making absolutely no revenue with TA right now. I never understood that strategy. Instead of charging $147 for his software, he could have charged $10 a month and he'd still be balling right now with his thousands of members.

I have to disagree, especially in this industry. Larger one-time fees, save your money, then invest in additional online properties / product creation. Rinse & repeat.

I agree free trials boost sales, without question. I offer both, monthly & one-time fees, with the one-time fee 10x the cost. About 95% of people purchase the one-time, for loads of different reasons. And I like that better myself, because I have 10x more money in my account, which I can use to invest either back into the business, or develop additional income streams.

On the flip side, I could push monthly, make 10% of the income, and in a month from now have a new competitor show up, and wipe me out.
 
Just open source the tools. To think these lawsuits will stop people from abusing their systems is absolutely stupid.
 
Seems tweetadder is still updating their software. Any updated news on this?

Do the tweetadder updates contain a new feature that gathers IP and account data to report you to twitter in exchange for not being sued? :D (only half joking... :sadcrying4:)
