Twitter is continuing its rollout of advertising initiatives, with today’s launch of its new program for small businesses, which is being launched in partnership with American Express. Originally announced last month, American Express merchants and cardholders are now being alerted to Twitter’s new advertising opportunities, which were kicked off by a related promotion in which the first 10,000 Cardmembers and merchants received $100 in free Twitter ads. Today, those first 10,000 will be notified that they can get started in building their ad campaigns. For Twitter users, this news means more ads from smaller stores, brands and chains, which will accompany the now-familiar Promoted Tweets, Trends, and profiles that have historically highlighted both national and international companies, like Samsung or Starbucks, for example. According to a company blog post, the SMB program is starting off small, and will gradually increase the number of participating merchants over the coming weeks.

Le modèle économique de Twitter est, depuis le lancement du service en 2006, un véritable mystère. Toutes les pistes ont été évoquées : services premium payants, outils supplémentaires, publicité sur le site, publicité entre les tweets... Quelques expérimentations sont d'ailleurs en place, comme les " Promoted accounts ", des comptes de clients qui sont mis en avant sur le réseau.

Pas de panique chez Twitter. Face aux sceptiques qui jugent difficile de rentabiliser son modèle, le site de micro-blogging reste fidèle à sa stratégie : faire croître son audience, qui dépasse déjà les 500 millions de membres, dont plus de 100 millions d'actifs, avant de penser à la monétisation du service. La visite à Paris du co-fondateur de Twitter, Jack Dorsey, ces deux derniers jours, répond à cette logique.
CEO Dick Costolo famously said that Twitter is not a media company about six weeks ago at the AllThingsD conference. To be fair, Costolo said that Twitter isn’t a media company but is “in the media business”. To some that may be a distinction without a difference.

Twitter is introducing two new activity-centric features Wednesday in a partial redesign of its web application. The changes, designed to help users more easily discover what’s happening on Twitter in relation to them, are reflected in two new tabs on Twitter.com: “@[username]” and “Activity.” The @username tab replaces the mentions tab and is more of a personal notifications dashboard.Do you like this story?

Twitter Sets a Price For Tweets
Four-and-a-half years ago, Jack Dorsey sent the Tweet that would eventually spark a social revolution. At just 24 characters long, Dorsey and the Twitter team introduced us, one by one , to a new medium for connecting and communicating with one another. It would forever change how its community shared, discovered, and learned, setting the stage for a new era of influence and relevance. And in just four short years, Twitter would emerge as something more personal than a social network, it would serve as a human seismograph for facilitating, tracking, and measuring human movement and experiences. Here we are, 54 months and 160 million registered users later, Twitter has officially established itself as formidable and incredibly valuable community online.

Twitter Brings Promoted Tweets to User Streams
Twitter’s march toward profitability is bringing advertisements into its users’ timelines for the first time, a tricky step that could test how much intrusion users will accept in their tweet-streams. The company announced today that it is launching a test of promoted tweets with third-party application HootSuite, following up on rollout plans that it laid out previously . The new test will not target all users and those who do receive promoted tweets will get what Twitter believes are relevant tweets based on several factors, including who they follow. According to AdAge magazine, the first advertisers to use the service include Virgin, Starbucks and Red Bull. HootSuite said pro account holders will have an option to bypass the promoted tweets .Twitter Brings Ads to the Timeline: How Will the Twitterati React?
Twitter has tried a number of different methods over the past six months to monetize its millions of users. From promoted trends and tweets to promoted accounts , the company has offered advertisers space on the periphery of its service, but none that went to the core - a user's timeline of tweets. Starting today, Twitter will begin inserting advertisements into the streams of independent Twitter client Hootesuite's users, going directly against what it prohibited for third-party advertisers last May. Allen Stern with CenterNetworks first wrote about the inline ads last Friday, noting that they would be different from other Twitter ads, as they would be in the stream as opposed to on the sidebar or in search results. According to Edmund Lee of Ad Age , the service will begin with Virgin, Starbucks and Red Bull and will be limited to HootSuite users . Hootsuite has more than 900,000 users and will get a cut of the ad revenue.If there’s one thing Twitter users know, it’s that advertising is coming — and not just a few “promoted tweets” or “promoted trends” here and there, but actual branded advertisements appearing right in a user’s real-time stream. There have been several recent reports that ads will be rolling out soon, including a Reuters report that says Twitter is planning a trial of “self-serve” ads for major corporations . There’s no question that the company needs to do bring in revenue, but how will users of the service react to the sudden appearance of advertising in their streams? At least one analyst thinks that Twitter is making a big mistake .
