Ads In Twitter Streams? Nope

|

twitter.pngTechCrunch's Duncan Riley reports that Twitter is rolling out ads, based on "some reports of users spotting ads in their Twitter stream" recently.

One of those users then tells him that she was mistaken and hadn't actually seen an ad, after all. But Duncan tells her that ads are coming to Twitter eventually, so it doesn't really matter what she's actually seen.

Our theory: Why not ask Twitter about their ad plans directly? So we did.

Biz Stone replied:

“We're not putting ads on Twitter.com. As far as I can tell, a customized background image had some folks confused and speculating.”

Thanks, Biz!

Is Duncan Riley the only blogger with his own brand of jokes?

"Not another Duncan Riley joke," I heard someone say last week.

Sadly, this will spark another round of them.

Nate,

It's a question that I've often asked myself (and others). Duncan is an incredibly nice guy, but posts are riddled with errors (both grammatical and factual). His writing presence has severely impeded my consumption of TechCrunch in the past year or so.

This is part of the reason that Old Media stands a chance in its efforts to withstand the onslaught of the New. The Old, in many cases, utilize their resources it has to put in-line editors, fact checkers, etc. The major blog networks have amassed enough wealth at this point that they could afford to engage the services of such professionals, but, to the best of my knowledge, none have yet chosen to do so.

I know all too well that blogging functions on the content is king, first is best model, but there are ways to achieve those goals while still maintaining some journalistic relevance (and possibly even building some integrity along the way).

Not to kiss the ring too much here, but this is why SAI has done so well in a crowded market and in such a short time. Their model for taking REAL journalists and editors and using the blogging format really shines through. This is where a disproportionate amount of pressure on big media is going to come from.

I smell a blog post.

Why thank you, SAI Contributor Nate Westheimer!

Duncan riley IS a twit :) . Nothing new here. Just a pawn of Mike's but a bad one.

He does make sai's growth easier though.

Not on Twitter.com, but what about through APIs ? I actually saw an ad too, a couple of days ago. I was using Twhirl and I don't think that ad came from that software. So what?

Nate Westheimer (URL) said:
Iuca,

I'm 90% sure that was through Twhirl. I paid for Twitterific because it too was sending ads through the client.

AussieBoy said:
That is one irresponsible post. That is why I make sure to read blogs other than Techcrunch.

epc said:
Google Adsense code is viewable in twitter status pages IF you’re not logged into Twitter, however the ads don’t display (I see an "access denied" error when the browser tries to fetch the Javascript from Google’s server).

The ads were displaying in May 2007 (see http://artific.com/202/2007/05/post/), not sure when or why they stopped displaying (and is that a Google decision or Twitter decision).

You can see the code in the last tweet from alleyinsider: http://twitter.com/alleyinsider/statuses/789043049 (again, only if you’re logged out of twitter)

Peter Kafka said:
Interesting, epc. But where is the code? Logged out but don't see it. Where should I be looking?

Search for in the source HTML.

Twitter set a meta tag to show whether you’re logged in or not:


Might check to verify that that's "n" and not "y" in the source you’re seeing.

I threw together a page on the differences between the authenticated and unauthenticated twitter pages here: http://www.echonyc.com/~epc/twitsense/



Search for <div id="ad"> in the source HTML.

Twitter set a meta tag to show whether you’re logged in or not:
<meta name="session-loggedin" content="n" />

Might check to verify that that's "n" and not "y" in the source you’re seeing.

[sorry about the duplicate]

Hopefully this will be the end of Duncan Riley on TechCrunch.

Looks like you got hit by the spam comment bug. You need to review these things my man...

Let's hope not. Banner ads are soooo last year. We're hoping people will be into in feed ads on twitter.

People would be more likely to read themicroblog ads then clicking on a banner, or seeing a background.

We're about to change the game for twitter ads

Ads on twitter feeds are the only way advertisers would be able to gage money spent.
