Google And Microsoft Take Their Mobile War To The Ad Section Of Twitter

As we're all well aware, with the recent launch of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft is about to enter into yet another major war with Google, this time in the mobile space (or at least, they hope it will be a war ). So perhaps it shouldn't be too surprising today that when one of them bought an ad on Twitter, the other followed suit. Yes, both Microsoft and Google are running Promoted ads right next to each other today. Now, this obviously could be a coincidence. But it seems like it could be calculated as well. After all, they're both specifically targeting the mobile crowd with these ads. Microsoft is running a Promoted Trend for Windows Phone, while Google is running a Promoted Account for Google Mobile.
