This just in from thisisgoingtobebig.com blog... They have posted a screenshot of what is possibly Twitter Inc. testing mobile phone ads via SMS. They show a tweet on the web and then one on the mobile and the mobile phone displayed tweet has a "Tip: Wow you look *good*" at the bottom. It is thought that this where the ads will be displayed. So, you could be seeing, Tip: The coldest beer in Chicago (or the best steak or..well..you get the drift). Just how localized or directed it is, no one is sure yet. 

Would you mind a small text add at the bottom of the twitter SMS updates?  Would you pay to remove them?  Let us know in the comments!
