How Twitter should make money
2 points by suking on March 24, 2011 | hide | past | favorite
It's simple... contextual advertising. If someone tweets "I need anew computer" then Dell should be able to immediately do a promoted tweet in their stream or somewhere on the site.

Maybe they're working on it, I don't know. Maybe they could work something out with Google who already has this type of technology. If they want a huge revenue stream, this is what they have to do.
