Twitter is making some money money moneyyyy....

Twitter has recently decided to try and start making money by allowing companies to kind of buy, "Promoted Tweets". I actually was not shocked in any form of the word. I kind of wondered why Twitter wasn't doing this sooner actually. A move like this is a no brainer for twitter, especially since they already have accounts with the companies who are now paying for top search results.

I decided to try it out. I went to twitter, didn't log in, but searched for "Coffee". I was confused at first because just random tweets from people were up about hating coffee, getting coffee, smelling coffee, etc. So I thought, "Hm...weird..." but as soon as I logged in, I noticed Starbuck was at the top of my list of my streaming tweets. Mind you...I hate coffee and nothing will ever make it taste good to me. Now...tea...I have an entire cabinet in my apartment devoted to tea.

The companies can promote and create ads so that if you were to search for something dealing with them, they would be at the top of the list. I suppose this is only if you are logged in? I have no idea...

Anyhow, I thought this was a very good decision on Twitters part. Just as long as they keep Twitter as is and don't become money hungry...that would be solid.
