Glam Media Eyes Twitter-Powered Ad Network

TechCrunch obtained an e-mail from Glam Media network sales and program director Derek Houdyshell detailing the company’s plans to build a Twitter-powered advertising network.

It appears that Glam intends to build upon its model of wrapping an advertising network around topical Websites and blogs and “extend it to the host of third-party Twitter applications that have come out of Twitter’s developer ecosystem,” TechCrunch wrote.

The full text of Houdyshell’s e-mail:

Hi [REDACTED],

I am interested in discussing syndication, distribution, and advertising opportunities with you.

Glam Media is building a Twitter powered advertising platform by aggregating the best Twitter apps on the web. The demand is high and we want [REDACTED] to be part of it!

Please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Best Regards,

Derek Houdyshell
