Filipino Expats Blog in Thailand

This article which I read from The Nation, one of the English newspapers in Thailand, is a clear hint of what is to come from this 4 year old technology. I remember about a couple years back when I first tried to use Twitter, I honestly never thought that such a light program could grow this popular and useful where others almost couldn’t spend a day without a tweet.

Infact, when things had started to pick up and I tried to re-register, I was surprise that my email add was already in their database. The downside is, I can’t seem to remember my personal Twitter account ;) (But for FilipinosInThailand.com here it is http://www.twitter.com/filinthai. Go ahead, click the link and follow our Tweets.)

Anyway, here is the Twitter article that I was talking about.

Twitter unveils advertising plan

Twitter unveiled a plan Tuesday to use advertising to turn its massive popularity into cash.

Biz Stone, one of the three co-founders of the micro-blogging service, provided details of the long-awaited revenue-generating plan for the San Francisco-based startup in a post on the Twitter blog.

Stone said the advertising service, called “Promoted Tweets,” will allow businesses and organizations to highlight their 140-character-or-less messages known as “tweets” to a wider group of users.

He said a number of companies, including Best Buy, Bravo, Red Bull, Sony Pictures, Starbucks, and Virgin America, had signed up to take part in the first phase of the advertising program.

Rest of the story here.
