Twitter Adding Ads to Your Tweets?
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007;
-- Andy Beal |
Lots of buzz this morning surrounding a curious message that appeared at the bottom of Charlie O’Donnell’s Twitter conversation.
Could it be that Twitter is testing users’ reactions to adding small text messages to their Twitter conversations? It certainly looks that way.
Interestingly, the message didn’t appear on the web version of the conversation, only the mobile version. That might suggest the ads could at some point rely on your location to send you geo-targeted, relevant ads. Tell your Twitter followers that you’re heading out to lunch in Raleigh, and the Twitter tip might suggest a restaurant.

I think this will be ok as long as it’s not intrusive or annoying.
Keep it at the bottom.
