Recently I have heard reports of ads being spotted in the Twitter sidebar (although Twitter claim this to be false). Today however something a little harder to dismiss has been seen hovering over tweet-streams.
This was also reported by Techcrunch whom Twitter co-founder Ev Stone got back to and said:
"This is not an advertisement and it's not just for one browser- It's customised based on which browser you're currently using"
So, according to Ev you should only see the upgrade 'ad' if you're using the old FF? Well tell that to these guys:
Something smells fishy to me!
I guarantee (this is not a guarantee) that by this Christmas Twitter will be displaying full blown sponsored ads exactly where these FF prompts are now!
What do you think?
