Adjix, first to monetize Twitter?

Adjix logoAdjix is a new company that acts just like TinyURL by shortening web site addresses making them perfect for Twitter. But, Adjix adds a little banner ad at the top of the site that you visit via their link. If you own the account that shortened the Adjix URL then you get a cut.  You can collect $0.10 for  every 1000 unique views and $0.20 for each valid, unique, click-through. I know this is tough for the 200 follower crowd like me but for the Twitter “Big Guns” who link a ton this could become quite profitable.

If you’d like to help out with my small account I recently start click on this link http://adjix.com/sf to come right back to this page!

Thanks for mentioning this. Good to know that I'm not the only one trying to expand on the TinyURL idea - the options are really obvious and I can't believe it's taken people so long to try these sorts of extensions.

Haha. I see your point. However, at this point any monetization strategy for
Twitter seems viable.

Wrapping someone else's content within frames with ads around it sounds like a terrible idea. The kind where people go nuts and find torches and pitchforks...
