Bter recently put up the reviews tab with tipping for comments. It won't change the # of accounts they get, but more so that others are starting tipping abilities within their structures. To successfully send across Twitter would require a readily available way to redeem the assets being sent. We need a super strong portal to funnel uninitiated people into the world of bit assets and allow them to start using those assets quickly.

In a previous thread I mentioned the idea of using Twitter to gift BitAssets to celebrities.

Let me go into detail about the strategy of how to kickstart a gift economy.

1) We need to introduce people to BitAssets and the quickest way to do that is to give it away for free.
2) We can track who gave to this gift pot and award non-transferable reputation credits to these people. A good deed need not go unrewarded at some point in the future if people want to honor those who contributed to acts of kindness.
3) We should randomly tip people with different BitAssets to market them.

Now when I say random I don't mean random. In every social network there are key players in critical demographics. It makes sense to give to those key players in key demographics first and ask them to pay it forward. If they pay it forward they get reputation credits, Patronage Points or whatever.

Social network analysis can reveal who the key players are. These key players are the people who communicate to the masses.
