Lots of people are making money via Twitter. Some sell their applications, others post ads directly on Twitter, others use Twitter content on their sites and include ads there; there are many different possible business models. As long as you stay within our terms of service - which, of course, may be updated at our discretion, so stay current - you should be fine.
