Not sure if it's cuz I'm on my phone, but I don't think I get it... are you just surprised "uptweet" can afford time square advertising?

Not sure I understand what this post is about.  Is uptweet a bitcoin project???

Sounds awesome!

I'm not sure where the money is coming from, but I guess I should look into tweeting!

The money comes directly from the advertising revenue (just like on Youtube).

The daily retweet rate is changed every day to reflect the companies cash at hand.
 
You can view the retweet rate after logging in, and pressing wallet.

Correct me if I'm wrong Erik, but isn't UpTweet the first Bitcoin-related site to go to Times Square?

Thanks for complement we are very excited!

Edit: Thanks to many of you the Bitcoin section is slammed packed!

Very interesting. Get paid for your content through ads with bitcoins. This can be huge. It's a win win win scenario.

Awesome!

As for not knowing what Up Tweet is even if it's a bitcoin related project, well, it's a good thing, it means bitcoin is finally big enough that there are so many projects that a normal person don't know them all. Before for every shop or anything that accept bitcoin it was like "oooohh", while now it's more and more common, awesome!

Yep, I keep up with bitcoin pretty well.  But every now & then something sneaks by.

As for this picture, I'm walking thru time square trying to figure out where this picture was taken.

Found it!  It's on the south side of the square.

Now I'm off to dinner.  Then hitting up some bars/clubs.

Any recommendations for dance/night clubs?

Congrats btw for being the first bitcoin business with adverts in times square!

I'm no advertising expert but spending a couple million on something that nobody even knows about(and thus nobody can tell another person about if someone even asked) doesn’t sound like smart advertising. As far as I've researched advertising anywhere on time square is at least $4 million/month and long term contracts are required. So i guess I’m just confused about everything. The website doesn’t seem to reflect the advertising that was put out and by that i mean if you are pushing hard on your "AD" caimpain you'd think people would at least spam uptweet but i still see the same traffic the same content of posts no variety.
Just confused about the whole thing any ways the website looks great buddy keep it up, looks exactly how you imagined!


Updates: here is the webcam (It looks like its still advertising sprint... its weird how the webcam displays only sprint advertisements and in your image it shows the sprint advertisement EVERYWHERE except uptweet.... weird indeed http://www.timessquare2.com/webcams.html

Actually it's more like 300 bucks.

$300 to have just the logo up there for 15 seconds? Not exactly what I would call a good value... more like a vanity thing like paying to get your name in those silly "who's who" books.

Some people pay much more for 15 seconds. You obviously dont know how costly advertising can be. And no we got several rotations in times square, it wasnt just a 1 time flash......

Anyway for anyone who is interested checkout this cool story that just dropped
