Twitter is holding negotiations to sell advertisements in Russia, three sources familiar with the talks told ITAR-TASS last week.
“Twitter is in talks to implement their ads possibilities in Russia. The discussion has not evolved into precise parameters yet,” the Russian news agency quoted one of the sources as saying.
“Now there is a preliminary exchange of ideas between Twitter and Russian sellers,” another source said.
A spokesperson of advertising agency IMHO Vi confirmed that Twitter is involved in the talks on possible cooperation, but “a final decision has not been made”.
Twitter launched its Russian language version in 2011, five year after the English version.
