Hi Jeff,

The policy is listed in the Guidelines page.

http://www.scn.org/earth/tweeters/guidelines.html

Should you have difficulty connecting to that here is the excerpt you
asked about:

===========
Commercial advertising (as distinguished from product endorsement).
It is fine to post "I prefer such-and-such model of binocular," or "I want
to tell you about a great new book," but it is *not* appropriate to
say "...and you can buy it at Bob's Camera [or Greenleaf Books]." However,
one-time announcements from not-for-profits about a new publication, or
service, or event, *are* appropriate for posting to Tweeters.
===========

Hope this helps,
