Twitter Introduces New Public Insight Analytics Tool for Publishers to Upgrade Video Inclusion

Twitter is back with the promise fulfilled, which it made two months ago at CES (Consumer Electronic Show) 2019. In January, at CES Las Vegas event, the social media platform announced it was working on a new tool which would enable publishers to understand the kind of content oscillating among their readers.

Now, that the company has finally launched the new analytics dashboard which is a set of Publisher Insight tools in Media Studio zooming into the best time to publish the video. It will make it effortless for publishers and easy up their understanding of public engagement with a particular range of content and how well it is performing.

Though the company had described this tool as an early concept at CES 2019, as the advancement has hit the market now, it precisely justifies Twitter's showcase at the event then.
