I definitely think this is a genius ploy on Mars Inc's part, whether it is a viable sect of a business model for Twitter lies within the answer to the question of whether this antic could be repeated in the manner that it is and garner the same kind of response (albeit hopefully with less trolling). While there is definitely scrutiny from some tweeters about the lack of censorship involved within this idea, if Mars Inc. gave people forums on the skittles website, the same sort of trolling and vulgar posting could take place there. Granted probably not visible on their front page, but still. Besides, I can't recall the last time I ever thought about visiting a website for a brand of candy.
