Starbucks has created a new way to interact with your tweeps, and it's all about paying it forward.

With its "Tweet a Coffee" initiative, you can send a $5 Starbucks e-Gift Card to Twitter friends and followers by tagging their handle, and @tweetacoffee along with your message.

The program has been created through the Starbucks website, where you must first register to participate. Currently, you can only send to those in the US. The first 100,000 customers to use the service through 11/6 with a VISA card get a card in return.

In no time at all, the goodness runneth over. While the service was announced on Monday, @tweetacoffee has already tweeted thousands of messages, mostly sending gifts to people. There's so much positivity, we can barely handle it.
