Twitter To Tweet Ad Placement on Public Timeline
Twitter Advertising Timeline News
After 3 years of continued development, finally Twitter have decided that placing adverts on a public timeline within a whole bunch of tweets will work.
It was not surprising considering that earlier this year, the techno developments at Twitter Inc. started to place advertising tweets in the search results displayed by the search engines, plus on the trending topics tab on the right hand side of your home page.
Don’t get me wrong, but I think Twitter does have it’s place for many people – but when I signed up to test the social stream, all I ended up with wa a million and one people trying to sell some dumb internet marketing programme in a get rich quick scheme.
OK, Stephen Fry may be one of the most popular users over President Obama, and Google displays his ‘tweets’ within search results – but what use is 140 characters to explain anything when you have to include a webpage to promote your thoughts?
Anyway, for Twitter this is a big thing and they need to start looking at ‘commercial’ intent for the debt busting platform. And this comes as no surprise to the world with business models like Facebook making an absolute killing from a free platform and paid advertising.
This had to happen sometime because let’s face it, how many ‘Venture Capital’ businesses do you know that will put hundreds of million into a loss making product, not to see a return in 3 years?
