[...] Duncan Riley had already posted about Twitter placing some TIP’s below the SMS’s sent out through the service in TechCrunch and thinks that this might turns out to be advertisements in the near future.Might be a trick to know the user responses..? [...]

Doesn’t look like they did anything to actually open up the ad revenue. Wonder how they are combating the bandwidth bills.

Hi, I’m the @innonate in that message above. This is ridiculous. This does not mean they are going to do ads. You can never get high enough CPMs for SMS messages and nothing can be “contextual” enough for a cow-bell messages to turn a profit. Twitter’s plans are beyond contextual ads.

I use Twitter to publish the RSS of my pro site SonidoLocal.com. After a test period we now know that users like and use it. I would be ready to pay for publishing in this way, paying for example according to the volume of suscribers.

I really hope they add an option to pay like Pownce does and make this go away. I find this really annoying, and would happily part with some $$$ for a better, “pro” experience.

You would think that such a progressive service would explore advertising possibilities that are more exciting than “footer ads”. Why is there no advertising on the actual site now?

Is it just me who’d feel uneasy sending someone a Twitter when there’s a chance it might have “wow, you look good” stuck to the bottom? People who don’t read this sort of site won’t know it’s an ad message and will think I’m coming on to them!

SMS Advertising isn’t exactly new. 4INFO (www.4info.net), has been doing it for a year or so now.

Between paid ads and subscription fees something will have to pay for the cost of running such an expensive service. The problem with Ads is that given the power of the Twitter API, it would be too easy to remove them if they are just stuck at the bottom…

Waiting for Google…

For the first few months I did my best to avoid writing a business model. Having limited time, I had to choose between writing presentations to writing code and code is much more fun (I am a geek). But eventually…

Too many Advertisement spam could create another reverse dot com bubble. This is means larger advertisement companies, shareholders, corporate companies can’t make money.

I remember Geocities & tripod started to display popup ads by accident.
That was biggest crash. People start making illegal javascript & clicking frauds.

Now, Google adsense TOS say “no popup ads”. Many investors will tell you this too “No popup ads”
