Tweets gets you in Ad Copy
I posted this today on Twitter:
I highly recommend the X-mini iHome Capsule Speaker from @thinkgeek. It’s a tiny sound enhancer that looks like a Cybertron hamburger.
You know, on a lark. Moments later I get this reply from John Frazier:
@doctorfailure OMG, what a great quote! Can I use that in our product copy?!
So, I say yes, and so my quote is now attached to the product:

I was asked if I got compensation for this – no I did not. For one, I didn’t want to (it’s pretty neat) and for two, that’s ridiculous to assume I could get paid for tweets. I’m not Ashton Kutcher. No, I’m not linking to his Twitter feed, you know what it is already.
