I always wondered why for example Lauren Conrad tweets tweets with (ad) behind it...
Today the sun reported about celebs who get paid a huge amount for this tweeting ads.
£3,000 each for a single message on the social networking site.Brit Arnie Gollov-Sing, 38, has signed 5,000 names to promote products such as Coke and Microsoft in America and plans to launch the service here.
US celebs must declare Tweets are paid for with the words "ad" or "spon", but there are no such rules in Britain.
John Whittingdale, of the Commons culture committee, said: "If people don't reveal a Tweet is paid for it could undermine fans' trust."
Today Range Rover will be the first big UK brand to run a Twitter campaign.
It has signed 40 stars, like ex-GMTV host Ben Shephard and model Daisy Lowe, to drive the new Evoque 4x4.
