Twitter now allows you to embed and view video’s directly on to your twitter page. No more redirects to other 3rd party sites. Twitter has established partnerships for video streaming with YouTube, Vimeo, TwitVid, Flickr, Justin.TV, DeviantART, and others. Search engines are ranking video quite highly in organic search results, and often video you will ‘real time’ search result – which is what the search engines value greatly. Twitter explains that video is not an open invitation to flood your followers with video content. Community engagement, re-tweets, posting articles, pics, and now video will altogether ensure a successful twitter marketing strategy. Remember to keep the message short, sweet and to the point. Creating videos for twitter is all about creating a condensed version of the full length video, enticing them to navigate to your site. Web Video Solutions is now actively incorporating this strategy into its marketing efforts. Hope you all got some thing out of this and if you have any further questions regarding video marketing on Twitter, feel free to contact us anytime.

Google recently released its own URL shortening service “Goo.gl” URL shortening is an essential tool used in social media marketing on site like Facebook twitter and many more. All though the market is already saturated with many URL shortening services, Google manged to add a few bells and whistles to set them selves apart from the competition. Here are just a few
1. Goo.glprotectes against malware, phishing and spam.
2. You’ll be able to see data on all the goo.gl links you’ve ever created and shared, right there in one place.
3. If you’re interested in another person’s shortened link, you can view that data too, just by typing “.info” after the shortened URL, even if you don’t have a Google account.
I have started testing it on some of Web Video Solutions blog syndication’s. Check back for reviews on how I think Google’s new service compares to its competitors.
