The other major problem here is that the moment I sign up for it, all my followers get ads in their stream. If some of my followers sign up, I’ll get their ads, they’ll get mine, and the unregistered followers will get double the trouble.

Theoretically, with enough users, you’ll start generating a sizeable chunk of Twitter traffic that’s nothing but ads, and it might just become a reportable problem. Ungood.

The only other idea that could potentially work is to create a Twitter stream that people would want to follow. @vhata is a good example.

Naturally, targeting the ads would be an impossible nightmare. And unless if they’re very rare, point to very quick-loading and interesting sites, and are attractive to a majority of your audience, you’ll probably only set yourself up for the Twitter Blacklist.
