Snappytv & Twitter's Acquisition Seen By Internet Marketing Companies

By Bob Oliver


According to an article on Mashable, Twitter announced that it had purchased SnappyTV. For those who do not know, SnappyTV is a service that allows users to not only share video content but edit it in certain ways. With these points in mind, it's clear that it can be a very viable program in the right hands. The fact that Twitter was able to attain it says quite a bit, according to many Internet marketing companies, and I think one of the biggest points of note is that the company has not been around for that long.

SnappyTV was founded in 2010, which makes it a relatively young company in context of the Internet. In any event, the main reason why Twitter decided to purchase SnappyTV, as the article referenced, is because of the possibility of it boosting its Amplify program. Twitter Amplify, by definition, is viewed as a program that is able to help advertisers reach viewers, beyond TV, onto the social network in question. For Internet marketing companies across the board, Twitter Amplify is a platform to focus on.

The focus on video by Twitter is understandable enough. After all, how many times have you been online and, just out of instinct, you find yourself going to YouTube in order to kill some time? This speaks volumes about the engagement that video content boasts and it is clear that Twitter recognizes this as well. With that said, this acquisition stands the chance of being one of the most profitable, not just for people who work in marketing but clients as well.

Various reputable firms, fishbat included, will be able to tell you about how video has the potential of reaching out to various people. Internet marketing companies, in my view, should make it a point to look into Twitter Amplify if the influence of SnappyTV proves to be strong. I have no doubt that Amplify will be perhaps one of the strongest tools for marketers to use. The likelihood of it helping both advertisers and clients, though, will be determined in due time.

I am of the opinion that Twitter's attainment of SnappyTV can only lead to good things for marketers. This is especially true when considering the fact that so many people are getting into the video business, meaning that Twitter Amplify can become even more of a prospective tool. One has to wonder, though, if the potential of this business partnership will be met. While I do believe that it will take time, I am fully confident that this can create findings for marketers and clients alike.
