Twitter has launched an advertising feature for morning people: Earlybird. It’s partnering with advertisers to offer users exclusive deals on products and events.

The advertisers who distribute the offers via @earlybird will determine the availability and pricing. So far the account has fewer than 1,000 followers. But bargain hunters can also spread the word by retweeting deals. Twitter offers more details here.
