Twitter to share ad revenue on videos by U.S. individual users

Thomson Reuters

(Reuters) - Twitter Inc said it would share some of the advertising revenue on videos created by its individual users in the United States as part of an expanded video advertising program.

The microblogging service provider's Amplify Publisher Program is currently restricted to organizations such as the National Football League.

Twitter will also allow advertisements that precede the streaming of videos uploaded by individual users, the company said in a blog post on Tuesday. (http://bit.ly/2c8qoDx)
