A new ad network is offering advertising within Twitter applications developed by the Twitter API.

FeaturedUsers.com works like a common advertising network and might be described as an appvertising network for Twitter applications. Advertisers need to have a Twitter account to participate, which is used for registration. On the publisher side applications are accepted, which are using the Twitter API.

The service displays banner advertising within Twitter app websites. These banners do include the logo of the related Twitter accounts and the latest posts. If someone clicks on a banner, the visitor will become referred to the Twitter homepage of the advertiser. FeaturedUsers.com itself describes the ads as an ideal way to get more followers.

An advertising example is available at the FeaturedUsers.com homepage. Further information on how to advertise or to participate as a developer is available at the faq page of the service.
