Today Twitter released it’s Sponsored Tweets advertising program.

In a nutshell, it gives advertisers the ability to move their tweets up in the timeline. As the New York Times article says:

"Starbucks, for instance, often publishes Twitter posts about its promotions, like free pastries. But the messages quickly get lost in the thousands of posts from users who happen to mention meeting at Starbucks."
