Twitter Paid Advertising

Not sure if any of you have heard or not, but Twitter is launching paid for search....a whole new marketing avenue is opening up.

We'll just have to wait & see how much spam is generated & what it means as a user.

Like any business I guess they need revenue to keep on developing and growing.

Like Facebook ads, as long as they're pretty non-intrusive I don't mind. In the real world businesses need to make money and especially free services like Twitter they need a revenue stream.

As for advertisers, i'm not sure it will work for the small business, great for corporates who can chuck money about for brand/campaign awareness.
