According to an article in the Telegraph, Twitter plans to add video tweeting service to the site. Startups like Tweetube and Twiddeo have tried to do the same but with little success. Up until now users had to exit Twitter proper to see the vids. With the update they wouldn’t have to.

It sounds like Twitter is hoping to use new features to bounce back from bad press surrounding celebrities leaving the site. I mean, Hannah Montana is gone. You gotta do something to get back on top, right? Seriously, if content is vapid enough that even Miley Cyrus would leave, I’d say skies look stormy in Twitter’s future.

Video tweets sound so painful I would be forced to immediately unfollow anyone making them. Of course they could make those daily recording devices extremely popular. I do love me a good privacy scandal.
