Oh great.....Twitter is now serving ads.

Starting today Twitter will begin experimenting with commerce. It’s the latest effort to expand the atomic unit of a tweet beyond 140 characters. The implementation is straightforward: a big "Buy" button that will appear alongside an image of the item for sale.
Give Twitter your billing and shipping info once and you can make one-click purchases from inside a tweet if you’re logged into the app or web service. The big question on Wall Street’s mind is whether this might provide the company a meaningful secondary stream of revenue alongside advertising. The more interesting question for the average consumer is if the real-time nature of Twitter might produce some interesting new forms of business we haven’t seen yet

Yeah, I am just dying to turn a rapid read Twitter experience into a catalog reading experience.

1. Had to happen.

One of the world's most popular -- all but indispensible now for breaking news -- online places and no monetization.

2. They already had

ads posted as messages. Most of the time, you can just hit the "dismiss" button and it goes away but its still a bother every time I log on. I want tweets from those I am following, not some false tweet claiming someone bought a new car...and it was a Volkswagen advertisement.
