Twitter will charge a commercial fee to give users access to extra data such as analytics a bbc interview has revealed.

What is it?
A new web based operating system from Google – they’ll keep all your data on their servers though.
The idea is to have a web based op system where all the apps are under a seperate tab and there is no software to download or install. They have said they wanted it to be like a television, where a computer could be switched on and instantly running and connected to the web.
It will only run on solid state drives rather then the more traditional hard drives.
It is open source, and so developers can help craft its future.
Providing an operating system where users data is held on Google servers is a fantastic service allowing users to keep their data in a ‘cloud’. It is also fantastic for Google, for if they are to be trusted with the space in which your data is held, this trust also makes Google a closer friend and will you tell it your secrets? Handling your data will surely be handled securely, however, all the information that Google obtains - is that ignored? Or is it a way of Google handling extra information to feed advertising, after all Googles main income is Adwords and its other advertising channels.
We’ll have to wait and see . . .
Google has agreed a deal to purchase mobile advertising company Admob.
The deal has cost Google £449m in stock allowing Google to take advantage of opportunities in the booming market for mobile devices.
Admob’s platform focuses on adverts for small devices such as iphone and blackberry.
Google has the android phone and may well plan to use the service there too.
Admob founder , Omar Hamoui said: ”Our goal has been to make it possible for developers and publishers to bring their products and ideas to mobile with the same business model.”
This is a great asset to Google and confirms the growth of digital marketing strategies for a mobile internet.
