WEEK 7
1. Twitter’s TV strategy

  • Users of the social networking service are watching 370 years of video a day
  • Like Facebook, Twitter is love-bombing the TV industry in the hopes of getting broadcast“It was this sense of where TV used to be seen as a wave where you just sit and it crashes over you for an hour and you’re consumed" and producers to help drive more conversation around their shows on the social networks 
  • Twitter has become a broadcaster of sorts itself: its 316 million active users currently watch 370 years worth of video every day on the service. 
  • That’s giving Twitter a better idea of what kind of videos its users like best. “They like shorter clips – 30 to 45 second
2.  Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 – five things we've learned about the campaign



Call of Duty: Black Ops III

  • Black Ops 3 is set in 2065 and there have been a major advances in robotic and bionic technology since the Black Ops 2 timeline
  • Cooperation is going to be the central focus of the new campaign, with a focus on personal choice and ability rather than run ‘n’ gun action
  • Set 40 years after the events of Black Ops 2, the world is now divided into a patchwork of international alliances, all investigating advanced cybernetic and bio-augmentation technologies. The narrative follows a group of robotically enhanced super soldiers, investigating the disappearance of a CIA operative in Singapore, as well as a huge data leak of military secrets.
  • During a reveal event in April, developer Treyarch announced that the campaign would be a four-player co-op mode with large, open environments – it even promised a more complex story in which multiple playthroughs may be required to get the full picture.
  • Furthmore, each player’s configurations will be based on the decisions they have made throughout their campaign experience: the more you play, the more cybercores, weapon attachments and other pieces of equipment you’re able to unlock and utilise.
