TwiMarket.com aims to create a centralized marketplace for classified ads on Twitter. People can publish ads by tweeting them to the TwiMarket account, which will then re-tweet the ads to its website and organize them by category and location. The website will use a freemium model with premium services and affiliate marketing. It also plans to share ads across other social networks and include spam filtering to develop the platform for businesses to manage classified listings on Twitter.
