I hope that these promoted tweets don't cause background notifications on my phone. The second my phone vibrates to tell me that I just received an ad, is the second I stop using twitter.
Which is a shame as I really like twitter as a concept and, honestly, I think I would pay for not having to deal with this advertising crap. Careful selection of whom I follow really has made my twitter feed to be one of the few ad-free places on the web where 80% of the content is interesting to me.
This is the highest rate in years (in the beginning, Usenet was better, but that was more than a decade ago). Don't take this away from me.
You piqued my curiosity. Could you give an example of a Twitter message that you consider valuable enough that you'd actually want your phone to vibrate so you'd see it immediately?
I don't think I've ever seen a Twitter message that I considered worth the time spent in reading it, so it always surprises me to hear about people who find them useful.
I didn't see the original comment, but I assume it was a suggestion to hide tweets in the stream that aren't from or retweeted by a user that you follow.

The minute you (as a twitter client developer) start doing that, Twitter will revoke your API access.
Start doing what? They've deleted it.
