Upcoming Revolution Of Twitter - Verified Accounts & Sports Streaming
Over the years, Twitter has been forced to look long and hard at its platform. The social network has managed to grab a large portion of the market, but it has failed to parallel the success of its main rival, Facebook. Still, Twitter and the minds behind the platform have not given up so easily. They're willing to fight back and will do their best to continue increasing their user count. In order to make this goal a reality, they've implemented several key activities, which may very well send sports fan flocking to their site in hordes.
In the past, Twitter made it incredibly difficult to get the coveted Blue Check mark. Only celebrities and those that were known by the masses were able to claim this status. Today, the company has decided to make the process substantially easier. Twitter has implemented new measures, which will make it possible for anyone, who has a decent following, to acquire a Verified account. Of course, users will still need to apply. To receive the tick, users will need to provide Twitter with their mobile phone number and birth date. According to the company's press release, they also admitted they may ask candidate for their government-issued IDs. As long as the user is able to verify their identity and they have enough followers, Twitter will provide them with the check and welcome them to the family.
Meanwhile, Twitter is implemented new streaming content, which will undoubtedly attract a lot of male users to the social network. Over the past few months, Twitter has announced new partnerships with several sports leagues, including the NFL and NHL. Although the partnerships only allow the social network to stream a limited number of games, Twitter is taking the appropriate steps to enhance their platform and set it apart from its competitors. And Twitter's new plan doesn't stop there.
The social network proved they could pull off these activities, when they streamed both conventions for the upcoming election. Although it is not known how many people turned in to watch Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump give their speeches, the stream remained steady and brilliant throughout. That is definitely good news for Twitter. Suffice to say, the company didn't have a problem with their stream and there were no cyber security issues.
Is Twitter well on their way to becoming a powerhouse in the video streaming realm? The company's Periscope app has already gained a massive following. So, they're already off to a solid start. If you're a fan of e-sports, you'll definitely want to sign up for Twitter and check out the company's upcoming weekend streams of this weekend's Counter Strike tournament. The tournament, which will be held in Atlanta, will be available to all fans through the social media network. Those that sign up will be able to watch live-streamed footage and gain access to commentary, scores, and updates through the social media network.
Whether you're a fan of sports, politics or social media in general, Twitter should appear more attractive than ever before. Before the upcoming NFL season, you should be sure to get yourself an account, so you won't miss any of the games!
