So what is this new direction actually mean? Mainly, Twitter will allow brands and content producers to upload and promote their content, which will attract to a greater visibility of their brand to the users of Twitter. This will lead to Twitter becoming either another outlet from brands, like Red Bull did while building a huge number of followers on YouTube, or another way of having audiences outside YouTube.
