Details Unveiled for Twitter’s Native Video Player to Rival YouTube

It&#x27;s interesting how Facebook closes it&#x27;s eyes on copyright infringements because they want to take over video consumption market. For example super highlights[1] Facebook page share copyrighted football games all the time. This is on top of giving video posts a higher rank and auto-playing the videos.<p>Twitter will push a lot of videos using all sort of technics just like Facebook.<p>To be fair, a playing video in my Facebook feed is very mesmerizing.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Super-Highlights/358037564248067?ref=br_tf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;pages&#x2F;Super-Highlights&#x2F;358037564248...</a>

For a second I thought it said Twitch.tv. Twitch has found a profitable niche from which to attack youtube. Don&#x27;t stop at video games, go for the jugular twitch... Become youtube before youtube can become you.

&quot;Everything that happens in the world happens on Twitter...&quot;<p>Really?

Well this will be a much better platform for response videos. We&#x27;ll see if the advertisers like it and the smart ones will expect it and take advantage of it.

Wasn&#x27;t part of youtube&#x27;s original concept to be limited to 10 minutes as well? It&#x27;s already been so long I&#x27;ve forgotten.

This reminds me of how CDROMs for PCs were hyped. The PC was then called a &quot;multimedia&quot; PC. It made me sit down and have a think on what a PC is good for. Playing video is one of those things.<p>So what we have at this point is former startups are playing slow follow trying to dislodge best breed products. I won&#x27;t name names, but I&#x27;m sure you can think of other examples.

The good news: Youtube will have another main competitor, which can only be a good thing.<p>The bad news: Twitter will start building its own &quot;advanced censorship infrastructure&quot; to appease MPAA (just like Google did), which will later be used for other kinds of censorship, too (shared images, tweets, etc).
