The money-making ability of Twitter has long been a point of contention. Is the micro-blog site capable of producing ad revenue along the same lines as Google? With the expanded capabilities of Twitter’s “Promoted Tweets” program, we’re about to find out just how successful the service can be when it comes to advertising. As detailed on their latest blog entry, “Promoted Tweets” are going to be more and more prominent on user time lines, whether you want them or not. Granted, the ads can, according to Twitter, be easily dismissed and judging from the examples, they aren’t intrusive at all.

These Promoted Tweets will scroll through the timeline like any other Tweet, and like regular Tweets, they will appear in your timeline just once. Promoted Tweets can also be easily dismissed from your timeline with a single click.
