Introducing TwittAd – a service designed to match Twitter account holders with potential advertisers. In other words, it allows you to sell space on your Twitter profile page to advertisers.

TwittAd provides the layouts and advertisers, you provide details about how many followers you have, how much you wish to charge for ad space, and other such details. Depending on how appealing your offer is, advertisers will or will not place advertising on your page.

Just one problem. As Erick Schonfeld points out in TechCrunch, all those advertisers may soon find that the only person seeing their ads is… you. After all, most people follow others via their OWN Twitter account, rather than hang out on other people’s Twitter pages.
