Twitter users now have a platform that pays them to post links. That platform is Adjix, which is a url shortener, similar to Tinyurl.com. Although, instead of redirecting to your linked website, Adjix places a small banner ad in your redirected link. Thus, monetizing Twitter tweets/links.
Will it catch on?
Truly difficult to say. On the one hand, everyone would love to be making money off tweets, even if it might be a rather insignificant amount. On the other, everyone hates ads and spam, and Adjix might come off as that to Twitter users.
The official beta launch was on Wednesday, so we will be on the lookout to see if Adjix is accepted by the Twitterverse.
