Where Do You Stand on the New Twitter Ads?

I am totally fine with it, without advertising and things all of the wonderful world of cyber space wouldn't exist. I wouldn't give it up for the worls

Meh, I'm not bothered by the ads. I think it's interesting to see how free services monetize their traffic, though I think the "interrupting ad" model is played out. Curious to see how this works and what they try next...

I have a great ability to tune in and out, not that it is perfect. Flash ads annoy me silly. In fact, sites that automatically start video annoy me silly. Worse are the ones who provide no means of shutoff short of uninstalling software. A passive in line ad won't faze me in the least.

Haven't we all become a bit ad-proof? Since they are everywhere, I suppose I have been programmed to ignore them all :) I mean I never ever click on banner ads, and I just focus on the content of the website. Twitter was bound to do this, its almost as popular as fb.

Personally, I do not mind the adds, for I have come to accept that it necessary to continue with a service, and as long as they allow me to skip over them. There are sites that the adds just won't go away.

But now I am wondering if this could be the reason that McAfee is appearing at the top of my BloHer page, saying, "We tested this page and blocked content that comes from potentially or suspicious sites." Would BlogHer know anything about this, please?

Thank you,

I've come to accept ads as part of any free service. As long as they are not intrusive (ie. really easy for me to ignore) I don't think these will bother me much. My stream moves fast enough that I doubt I'll notice them often, unless they sent out a lot of them.

Like Rita Arens I do wonder about the success of them. If Twitter is paid based on click-through rates I'm thinking it won't be so successful.

Well, my thought is this: If Twitter doesn't show a revenue source in the next year, that free service we all love will be gone, gone, gone. Though I doubt this particular service will be successful, honestly.

Question: Do they show up on services like Echofon (app) or CoTweet? Because I haven't seen/noticed/paid attention to a single one and those are really what I use to navigate twitter.
