It would be interesting to see if content writers can promote their content through this to earn money through micro-payments. Likely Steps: 1. Capture attention in 140 characters. 2. Provide a good deal for the article/content at a small price

Just being optimistic about news, article writers. I guess we might soon see Economist stories with nice 140 character titles and eye-catchy pictures with a buy button to read full article, post which it's added to your twitter shelf. I wonder if this just might prove to be the payment mechanism needed for such content consumption. Somewhat similar to the app-store economy, twitter might become the content-store. Let's see...

Though I hope the dominant commerce part is kept as a separate tab perhaps like "Discover" tab, as I guess I wouldn't want to have my twitter stream as a series of ads. One or two "buy" tweets might be ok though I think... Will have to wait and watch how this goes.

That sounds like it'd encourage misleading clickbait even more than the current Internet.

I was thinking exactly this. While for purchases of multiple items in groups or of items which I typically research first (most things), smaller commodity or usually single-items purchases might make sense in this context.

One such thing would be an eBook or similar that you'd buy from someone you know or know of on Twitter.
