I strongly agree with what you've written here. I'd also add that my Twitter stream is _mine_. I get to choose the content. If I'm following someone who I don't expect to have ads and they start tweeting ads, then suddenly my stream is getting polluted. Why would I choose to have more ads? It's kind of like choosing to have more telemarketers call me at suppertime. Frankly, ads are disappointing and a de facto violation of the social contract. If Twitter is about engagement, conversations, and relationship building, where do ads fit in to that? It’s interesting watching everyone explore this new space.
