Perhaps either you or someone you are really close to has a twitter account. Twitter has revolutionized social media in a way Facebook and Myspace has never done before, it was so popular that even brands were prompted to make twitter accounts. However, many experts doubt twitter’s revenue generating potential. As it is Ad-Free and that users can enjoy the service without having to pay anything.

“Over the years, we’ve resisted introducing a traditional Web advertising model because we wanted to optimize for value before profit,” wrote Twitter co-founder Biz Stone in a post on the company’s blog on Tuesday.

Now, after the long refusal of the company to advertise in their site, Twitter will now include a new ad service. The ad service will show “Promoted Tweets” in the ad program which includes promotion of a handful of advertisers: Starbucks, Sony Corp and Virgin America to name a few. The program is set to reach more advertisers before the year ends. While the ads will appear only in the search engine of twitter, the company is looking to add the Promoted tweets directly within the user’s message streams.

Some believe that the project lacks scale.
