I call them "tweets". Seriously, most tweets are ads, so just charge people to send them. If you have over ~1,000 followers then you are a de facto marketer and you could pay per tweet per active follower.

So, so wrong. I'm not far off that, and while I tweet now and then about work stuff, it's all from a point of view of "this is what I'm doing", not "this is what I want people to see". If I changed job to a completely different industry tomorrow, I'd tweet the same stuff about the new work, regardless of whether it fits my followers.
I like twitter enough that I'd pay for a premium service if there was one and its benefits were slightly interesting, but I wouldn't pay just because I breached some arbitrary line in my account.
