Twitter?s advertising model is no longer under wraps.

The social-networking site?s ad plan, Promoted Tweets, launches today and will work a lot like Google?s AdWords. When users search Twitter for keywords and what people are talking about, Twitter will run ads that marketers have bought to run against the search.

All of the twitter junkies are going to throw a hissy about this but not one of them understands the need to make money.

I remember the backlash when stumbleupon started paid stumbles. Donors could disable the paid stumbles but the free users couldn't. The free users bitched and moaned for months rather than just coughing up $20 to help out a service they spent lots of time on.

Get people addicted, then mix the bad shit in with it to make teh moneys. Good business plan.

Spending lots of time on it is the first indication that there may be a problem, the fuckwits that hang out on twitter won't pay shit for shit aside from their ISP [if lucky]. It is about the same as forum traffic.

:thumbsup

Well they need to make money. It is a free service. But the problem I have is with this line. Are they saying that ads will be placed in our streams? Now that's fucked up!

Everyone is trying to make money.
It goes on to say you will pay by the imp not the click, that could get expensive real fast . . .

Not a bad idea. Adsense partnership with tweet publishers. Some wm forums already do this.

Don't like it? Demand a refund.
