Twitter In-Stream Ad Ban Won't Stop Kim Kardashian From Collecting $10k Per Tweet

Twitter announced yesterday that it would move to ban “in-stream ads” on the social network.

In a blog post, Twitter COO Dick Costolo said, “we will not allow any third party to inject paid tweets into a timeline on any service that leverages the Twitter API.”

So what does this mean for companies like Ad.ly, which connect advertisers with prominent Twitter users like Kim Kardashian, allowing advertisers to post messages in these power user’s stream for a fee?

It seems they could be fine.
