After months of speculation about Twitter’s plans to add ads to its service, its ‘Promoted Tweets’ initiative goes live tonight. Initially it will involve promotional tweets that appear in search results on the Twitter website, but they’ll later spread to users’ feeds and Twitter mobile and desktop apps too.
