I met the founder of Ad.ly in L.A. this week and had a chance to sit down with him and his developers.  Felt like after talking to him that the concept was pretty solid.  This could be a turning point in Twitter history if this is a hit, where tweeters can get paid for tweeting. Yes, get paid, for publishing ads that you choose.  Head over to http://ad.ly for more information.

What is ad.ly?

Ad.ly is an in-stream advertising platform that matches top-tier Twitter publishers with top-tier brands.

Ad.ly for Advertisers

Ad.ly is an in-stream advertising platform that matches top-tier brands
with top-tier Twitter publishers. Twitter is a global phenomenon and
one of the fastest growing sites with over 52 million users in the US
alone. Ad.ly enables advertisers to reach the highly sought after
Twitter audience by connecting brands with the most influential people
in the community.

Ad.ly for Publishers

Ad.ly enables Twitter publishers to make money from the content they
produce on Twitter by sending one Tweet every other day from
advertisers that they approve. In order to ensure authenticity, every
Ad.ly Tweet is explicitly approved by the Twitter publisher. The
publishers are able to set the price they want advertisers to pay and
can optionally donate part or all of their earnings to charity.
