And Then There Were Ads: Promoted Tweets Appear In Your Main Stream (If You Follow That Brand)
About a month ago, talk began to surface that Twitter would soon begin to roll out ads (that is, their Promoted Tweets) in user timelines. The truth is that they've been talking about this possibility for a while. And they've even tested it with third party partners like Hootsuite. But today comes the true test. Twitter will start placing them on Twitter.com.To be clear, the sponsored Tweets will only appear in your timeline if you already follow the account that has paid for the spot. If that's the case, a single Promoted Tweet will appear at (or near) the top of your main timeline when you log in to twitter.com for the first time in any given day. As you get new Tweets, these Promoted Tweets will be pushed down just like regular Tweets. But if you refresh the page, the ad will appear at the top of the timeline again, is our understanding.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/y1TjGgV7ywU/
