Useful links that caught my eye:

• Twitter Advertising Platform to Include “Promoted Trends” | Peter Kafka | MediaMemo | AllThingsD – Twitter’s new ‘promoted trends’ service: “Advertisers will be able to insert their own terms into the list of trends Twitter displays on users’ homepages (see image below; click to enlarge) and on its login page. Clicking on a term would call up a Twitter search results page, which would feature the associated advertiser’s “promoted tweet” at the top of the results.
