Think your Twitter profile is popular enough that it should start making you money?
If so, then TwittAd is here to help.
The service is designed to match users who don’t mind a little product placement and website promotion on their Twitter profile with advertisers looking for a new way to reach eyeballs, and offers Twitter background images that include the sponsor’s logo and information.
