Officially, Twitter doesn't do video, relying instead on third-party services. That may soon change, according to Mike Isaac of AllThingsD, who reports that Twitter has just bought Vine, a tiny video-sharing startup.
Today, if you want to tweet a video to your followers, you can post it on YouTube, Vimeo, Twitvid, or similar sites. Those videos will play on Twitter's website without requiring an extra click.
So it's not clear what Twitter will gain from taking on the cost and complexity of running its own video-hosting, except for a greater level of control.
