Twitter announced this morning of their new advertising platform called Promoted Tweets in which companies and partners can choose a specific tweet for Twitter to bring up front and center in someone's personal home stream or in search results. Over time, as Twitter observes the way people interact with these "semi-advertisements" shall we say, Twitter will expand or tweak them accordingly. So far, users have not been happy with any form of ads interrupting their current experience.

A screenshot below shows that the roll out of Promoted Tweets has begun.
