The feedback and amount of ad engagement has been much better using this new approach in a limited beta said Twitter.

Twitter’s Nipoon Malhotra explained how the ad changes will mean for the users “For example: let’s say a user tweets about enjoying the latest album from their favorite band, and it so happens that band is due to play a concert at a local venue. That venue could now run a geotargeted campaign using keywords for that band with a Tweet containing a link to buy the tickets. That way, the user who tweeted about the new album may soon see that Promoted Tweet in their timeline letting them know tickets are for sale in their area.”
