How Twitter is changing ads forever, for the better
“What is this hidden in my Tweets? An advert you say!?” - That is what I thought when I saw the headline of this at Mashable that said “Promoted Tweets” which are Tweets that sound like a bunch of BS to me, at first.

Twitter buys Tweetie - Will be free soon!
Can you feel the love Twitter-ers? - Tweetie is now officially part of Twitter’s company overall, and has been gently placed in their basket of tools they offer to users.
Tweetie’s creator, Loren Brichter, will be joining as a new vital part of the Twitter team, and the app will be renamed “Twitter for iPhone” and be made free in the next few weeks, which is amazing!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve entered into an agreement with Atebits (aka Loren Brichter) to acquire Tweetie, a leading iPhone Twitter client. Tweetie will be renamed Twitter for iPhone and made free (currently $2.99) in the iTunes AppStore in the coming weeks. Loren will become a key member of our mobile team that is already having huge impact with device makers and service providers around the world - @Ev - CEO of Twitter
Personally, I am very excited about the switch, and I really see this as a whole, hearted business move, intended for the consumer. The fact that the app is going to be free is great news, and there is more good news to follow.
Twitter also specifically mentions that an official Twitter iPad app is indeed coming - “Developers, services, and publishers will be able to leverage the Twitter iPhone and iPad applications to create additional innovative tools and integrations for users” - Evan Williams
