I don’t agree with Twitter as an Ad Server. As a listening source for Brands to hear what is being said and to engage yes. But I have done a Twitter Study. The average Tweeter sends about 6 Tweets per day. So if you follow just 50 Tweeters that is 300 per day! How will a brand get an ad through via twitter? They won’t. There is way too much clutter. Even if Twitter serves the ad automatically on the first page people will be too busy looking for tweets from friends to really care about a tweet from Coke or McDonalds. And since we see Advertising 24/7 everywhere all the time why would we need it via social media? Point of Sale always wins anyway and no one wants that location based service that exposes you to any business who can see you hijacking your phone with offers.

As for the research I agree Tweeters probably are more likely to talk about brands and products. But then if they send tweets and these get lost among the massive amount of tweets even good positive information is drowned out. I log in and I view the first 20 and that is it. I post and good bye.

Twitter should charge a monthly fee for their service and that will bring in so much more money than ad based services. It is great technology for people connecting with people. And remember also the huge uproar from Bush’s NSA Eavesdropping. People want privacy. If people feel brands are listening in just to target and serve ads people will find a different network to use. And trust me in a few years they will be on a different network. It always happens in technology.

As a twitter user (@SciHound) the thought of ads appearing fills me with horror.
Am I the only one?
I have set up a poll to test this question out.

Do you want ads on twitter?

I think it’s ture, actally now there’re already a lot of ads in the statues, if I talk about some products, like iphone or some movie, I even hope the the owner company join in and tell more. Also, sometimes I found there’re some hash tags or words that I never met before, in such case, just curious, I might check more related statuses, include ads stuff
