Althea Systems, the makers of Shufflr - the online social video browser - today announced the successful implementation of its Twitter connectivity. Users can now watch videos on Shufflr and share them on Twitter. When a Shufflr user tweets a video, the application creates a webpage to which followers who click on the tweet link are directed. With more then 36, 000 hours of video being uploaded daily, this greatly enhances the process of video discovery by leveraging the reach of the social network in combination with smart recommendations. The new Twitter connectivity complements the existing Facebook connectivity to provide users with an easy means to discover and share videos on their social media networks.
