Twitter ads to begin today - what do you think?

Twitter to roll out advertising

Reports have revealed that Twitter is set to roll out advertising today on Twitter.com.

In the future, Twitter plans to insert sponsored messages into users’ streams in what will be seen as a much more controversial move:

The posts say they are promoted by the company in small type, and when someone rolls over a promoted post with a cursor, it turns yellow.”
