Advertisement Platforms for Twitter?

The only advertisement platform for Twitter I could find in a brief search was Magpie – I can’t believe that after all that publicity Twitter got in the US presidential campaign that noone else is capitalizing on it.

Be A Magpie - Advertisement Platform for Twitter

Be A Magpie - Advertisement Platform for Twitter

I just started to use bit.ly, an URL shortener enabling statistic information about referrers, clicks, etc. They have a great Firefox Beta Plugin (which i recommend over the currently realeased 1.0 version when you are using wordpress), but also a neat javascript in-browser popup. When I tweeted a bit.ly link to one of my (very rare) ebay auctions, I got about 10 clicks from it, more than I would’ve actually thought with only about 40 followers, most of them pretty busy people far beyond my reach.

So I figured there most be some sort of advertisement platforms for twitter that connect advertisers with twitterers, where twitterers allow for pre-approved marketing and advertisement messages within their twitter streams. But the only company that I could find was Magpie.

Is there anyone out there who knows about other marketing-related platforms for Twitter?

I love Twitter but I think sometimes it is the one you make to throw away. It is inherently not ad friendly. just my opinion
