A lot of tweeters who aren't advertising come off as equally annoying and spammy because of their excessive tweeting/retweeting. I heard that the half life of a tweet is about 18 seconds. I can't attest to the accuracy of that, but if it were true, think of how many times one ad must be tweeted. Good thing it's so easy to unfollow.
