A known username of his posted tips on finding a nice young underage prostitue in Thailand, and how much to pay.

I am more concerned about Feed Ze Birds connection to someone with a history of fraud.

Feedzebirds is terrific.  It is projects like these that lead me to think the decline from $33 to $3 is just a blip in the growth of bitcoin.

Now how about a similar service for people who "like" or "recommend" on Facebook?

I have paid into FeedZeBirds.com/f4i7z but it does not offer the option to "Play" or refund.

That sounds like a good idea. There are other services trying to do this without bitcoin. Bitcoin seems like a good fit.
I think there may be some legal issues with these services, however.

There probably is a workaround to allow FeedZeBirds itself to work with FB. If it is successful, maybe Google will adopt Bitcoin micropayments for all its advertising.

I am not trying to troll, I am concerned about signing up for your service.  Bruce, in addition to being convicted of fraud, recommended a website which stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from customers.

Do you have any association with Bruce beyond your appearance on his show?
Why would you choose to go on Bruce's show when he has such an ugly reputation?  If you are willing to promote yourselves with criminals' endorsements to make more money, why should customers not think you won't follow other advice from criminals and steal from them?

I agree, we need a Facebook solution!

LightRider,

This happened because you had previously stopped the campaign, and been refunded for it. Once a campaign is stopped (as opposed to paused), it can't be restarted. That being said, the fact that you sent more to that campaign's address brings up an interesting situation that I hadn't considered. I'll think about the best way to handle this in the future, but for now, the best I can do is refund the amount you sent after the campaign was stopped. This is roughly 2 bitcents, which I just sent to your payment address.

Until I work out a solution to this state machine, please don't send any more money to stopped campaigns. Not sure if we'll switch to allowing stopped campaigns to be restarted, but it will take some time to fix.

Thank you for addressing the issue and refunding the account. Looking forward to more successful campaigns with your service.

I've retweeted all the possible tweets.

would be nice to have the option for each campaign to select how many times an individual user can retweet, and how often.

also I sent an e-mail about problems viewing the site from a smart phone. Recently I had the same issue when browsing from my laptop when the browser window was not wide enough.  My user control panel would show up on the bottom left and 80% was not viewable and could not be scrolled to.

Site appears to be down. Everything alright?

Today, during our #CES Blitzkrieg, FeedZeBirds surpassed the 7,000,000 all-time feedings mark. In marketing terms, this means over 7m exposures have been completed through this marketing platform.

Over 300 Bitcoins have been paid out to retweeters since we launched in November, and just today 700,000 feedings occurred, the strongest day ever!

We still have one more day of the #CES Blitzkrieg, see details here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=57648.0
Do what you can to help promote Bit-pay on the floor of CES! Over 150,000 attendees.

Thanks for the support and feedback everyone!

Liking the additional view options. Keep up the good work!

Just one "feature request". Can you remove that "#Retweet4Bitcoin #FeedZeBirds ChkStatus@ FeedZeBirds.com/l86gh" on the end of every message? Or maybe leave just a "#FeedZeBirds". Not only because long text is cutting message length a lot, but I feel people can be much more critical about that particular retweet when they'll feel that it is "for profit". It can hurt not only the retweeter, but even the message credibility itself. For now I'll probably just pick the interesting tweets and will post them by myself.

Hi Slush,

Yeah, the boilerplate is too long currently and we plan to shorten it a bit as we progress. It is a bit long right now as we're using it partly to educate people about the tweets as they see them. When the userbase grows, we'll be able to shorten it.

As you say, users should only tweet those messages that their followers won't mind. Any user who spams his followers will not be able to spam them for long... because they'll leave.

Paid upgrade to shorten it

[RaggedMonk]

I think your userbase will grow if you shorten it.  I am not using it because I think all of the tweets look like spam.  You will get at least one more user

[RaggedMonk]

Oof, just saw your service is suspended. 

All the more reason to make your messages look less spammy. 

[mc_lovin]

Hopefully you guys will get back online soon!!!!

Site is down

[someguy123]

Damn just found out about this... Was hoping it'd be working since I have 1.3K followers...how much would I make from that? o_O
Also when is it going to be un-suspended?
