Ads on twitter?

[question everything]

I don't use twitter. Do not have a "smartphone" so do not have "apps."

But I think, from images of other twitting, that one uses a cell phone to send and read, right?

So how does twitter put "Russian made" ads on it? Right there on the screen?

1. Good question...I only use my smart phone 5% of the time...

when I need long distance or my computer or regular phone aren't working. Where do they show ads? On DU there are tiny little ads that I ignore like most popular ups.

2. I don't twitter but I was reading some of those threads on my laptop. I saw no ads.

Maybe an ad blocker?

3. Ads show as tweets

On the phone and on twitter.com in a browser, ads show up directly in the timeline as tweets. They are marked as "promoted". Ads will also sometimes show up as promoted links in the "trending" section.

They don't show up on tweetdeck.twitter.com, which is also run by Twitter. Tweetdeck has more features where you can simultaneously monitor multiple feeds with multiple accounts.

4. Thanks. Wonder whether getting these ads cost you in minutes

or in time.
