One web strategist, Tim Jensen, even went so far as to advise his clients against using it because of the clunky advertising interface and the limited functionality. However, ever since the new retargeting tool was introduced, marketers can segment ads based on specific products and services. This is a major step towards turning Twitter into a viable advertising platform.

Of course, this comes down to improving the service in a way that generates revenue. Fortunately, Twitter is smart enough to move quickly with those improvements, among which a tool that enables targeted advertising on the platform.
