Good question. The answer is rev share on text ads, and text ad networks. Pay4Tweet.com enables transactions for tweets. Those tweets will serve as the datasource for ads similar to Adsense.
The trick is that these types of ads and networks have to grow organically first. http://www.pay4tweet.com provides a very simplified interface to help that happen. You can see an example of what a final text ad unit can look like at http://www.moluv.com . There are also a lot of other creative possibilities for text ads. Twistori and Digg Labs Big Spy are some pretty good examples. Hope that sheds a little light. Maybe I should put this in a blog post. :-) Twistori: http://www.twistori.com Digg Labs Big Spy: http://labs.digg.com/bigspy/ On May 28, 10:29 am, "M.
