Earlier, Twitter has already announced plans to launch its own video service in the first half of 2015. But, judging by the latest data, the service will appear earlier than expected.
According to information received from Re / code sources, only a few weeks separate us from the launch of the Twitter video service. Representatives of the company declined to comment on the rumors, but it is known that the new Internet service will be similar to the Vine mobile app that Twitter bought at the end of 2012.
Thus, the unnamed service will receive a number of features, among which is the video editing function, as well as the ability to shoot and download video directly from the mobile phone camera.
The new Twitter service can also get all the necessary tools to compete with YouTube and other similar video hosting sites. In the short term, however, it will compete with Vine. This is indicated by the length of downloaded video files, which will be limited not by 10 minutes, as previously reported, but by 20 seconds - as Re / code writes.
The goal of the new Twitter product is to increase the number of microblogging users by attracting fans to create and share videos. Similar steps are now actively taking the social network Facebook.
Twitter came to this gradually. Last year, the company offered support for playing videos and gifs using Vine, and also allowed individual users and advertisers to upload videos up to 10 minutes in length.
The native video service is expected to become one of the most serious updates in the entire history of Twitter. Recently, the company has increasingly for too slow to update their products.
