This is a killer app and will help Bitcoin. Kudos. I'm still not into twitbook, but it will be interesting to see how many people copy this idea.
Not a bad idea.
UPDATE Dec 4:
77 Tweets
35,152 Beaks Fed
68,955 Beaks Remaining (funds available)
This is just for the Newt video, and it's received 8 btc of donations to help perpetuate it.
If any of you have a message you'd like to promote, give it a try!

GENIUS
Ehhh perhaps you aren't understanding the way it works =) The Bitcoins are deposited by someone who creates the campaign. When users retweet the campaign, they're paid from those bitcoins based on the bitcoin address or email they've entered. If it's not a valid BTC address, the coins aren't sent. If it's the wrong email, coins will sit in BTCinch's system until they're claimed.
If a user sends btc to a new address or email and never does anything with them, then I suppose those coins are gone forever. But that doesn't hurt anyone except the person who forgot about them - all other coins become more scarce and thus more valuable in proportion.
aha, so messages are forwarded by people that want bitcoin,
say no more
can bitcoins somehow end up being lost in all this ?
tweet gets somewhere unwanted,
or receiver does't know what it is,
or just forgets about it, discards it, never collects and so on ?

These thoughts apply to every single marketing technique ever made. Advertisements are a roll of a dice. or receiver does't know what it is,

Yes, which would be great. It would increase the value of Bitcoins for all of us. tweet gets somewhere unwanted,

Erik,
You forgot to mention that you could have done all of this anonymously!
That way, if Newt is elected president, he won't know who to toss in jail for starting all those tweets.

Hehehehe yes anonymous for all the tweeters, but Newt will come after me as the site owner for sure
Now we apply the same method to "Erik is a convicted felon". Are we trusting that people won't retweet things unless they believe in them, even when they're getting money for it?
This is exactly the way mass media works today. They keep parroting the same lies because they know people will pay them (or their advertisers) to hear these things.
And perhaps that's why mass media is dying as an industry... moving to decentralized web media. People get sick of lies, and competition applies to mass media just as with everyone else. You can fool some people most of the time, or fool most people some of the time, but it's hard to fool all people all of the time =)

This is amazing. Great job!
This is a very exciting new thing!
Erik: It'd be nice to somehow be able to see how many beeks have already been fed for a specific campaign.

Agreed, for normal ads it doesn't really matter, but for charity drives or PR campaigns it is relevant. Will add that!
So far the campaign has been tweeted to 12,207 people, with funds remaining for another 54,000. A few more bitcoins donated and we'll reach the 100,000
Awesome site! Donation sent.

Another suggestion: Could you make the links in the listed tweets clickable?
