Twitter considers video-hosting service, report says according to Cnet.com

WELL WHY NOT TWITTER, seriously Twitter why did you take so long to get this done? It was obvious from the start that you were going to have to compete with the big Blue Bully on the block(Facebook). Everyone knew that sooner or later you would have to start hosting pictures yourself and then you would have to take the next logical step, host your own videos. People like consuming content on twitter and having video and pictures is a must.



         Stop asking questions and start getting the work done. We want to be able to post videos to twitter from the twitter app.

         I wonder, since twitter put a limit on the number of words you could post on twitter I think they would have a limit to the number of minutes for a video. I think that wouldn’t be a bad idea. That should serve as a way to differentiate twitter videos from those on other platforms.

Lets keep our fingers crossed and see what happens next.

Instagram hasmore daily users than Twitter

Yes its true. I didn't make up the table you are seeing right now. I am one of those people who like Twitter much more than Facebook. I also trust Twitter more than any another social networking platform. I used to be a little worried about Twitters position on the social media landscape, but now I am really really worried. It seems a little too early to say this but twitter better get their act together or they could slowly drift into the world of MySpace. Instagram now has more daily users than Twitter.

These figures from Comscore don't look good for twitter which has been around longer than Instagram. they should be ahead in the mobile apps section of social networking. This might explain Dick Costolo's recent appearances on TV shows like the Charlie Rose talk show. I hope they have something up their sleeves.
