And it’s looking as if the company can add something else to its résumé: real revenue. Twitter is on track to earn $150 million in advertising revenue this year, according to estimates from eMarketer, a research firm.

Though Twitter’s advertising revenue is dwarfed by Facebook’s, it will most likely triple this year, up from $45 million last year. It could reach $250 million in 2012, eMarketer said in its first report to analyze Twitter ads.

Interestingly, even though the majority of Twitter’s users are outside the United States, just 11 percent of Twitter’s revenue this year is expected to come from abroad.
