Nuevamente la red social de microblogging vuelve a sacar la cartera con compras sorpresivas y en esta ocasión, al parecer un servicio nativo de vídeo seria el próximo gran paso de Twitter.
SnappyTV is joining the flock
One of the best ways to follow events as they unfold is through real-time videos on Twitter. As we continue to invest in video, it’s important for us to provide tools that make it easy for TV broadcasters, businesses, and event producers to share high-quality videos. To that end, we’ve agreed to acquire SnappyTV.
SnappyTV’s platform for live clipping, editing, and distribution is already widely used by brands and our media partners to share video clips on Twitter, both organically and via Twitter Amplify. Together, we’ve worked with the biggest content partners in the world to inject the best video content into Twitter’s real-time conversation, straight from the TV to your mobile device. Twitter users have watched goals, slam-dunks, amazing shots, and touchdowns –– as well as red-carpet moments, award show performances, news clips and funny moments –– right from a Tweet in their timeline.
While we continue to invest in SnappyTV’s product and integrate it more tightly with Twitter, we also plan to maintain our partners’ ability to post high-quality videos to other platforms. Our goal is to help publishers quickly share great moments from events so people can experience those moments as they happen.
We’re thrilled to welcome the SnappyTV team to Twitter. As Twitter has grown as the companion to live events and broadcast media, SnappyTV will help partners and brands bring the best videos into the conversation, when it matters most.

Twitter ha anunciado que estará adquiriendo SnappyTV, un servicio que permite a los creadores de contenido para editar y compartir vídeos en directo de las emisiones de televisión rápidamente.
Aunque exactamente todo indica que el servicio funcionaria de manera independiente como en el lado de Tweetdeck y Vine que han sido compras exitosas de Twitter, todo indica que Twitter quiere convertirse más allá de una simple plataforma microblogging a una de que se utilice como herramienta social y que más que un servicio que permite la edición en vivo de videos con capacidad de análisis de datos de visitas a tus videos.
