Here’s good news for Twitterati — soon the users of the site may get to upload short video clips on their profiles.

Founders of the social networking site Twitter are planning to upgrade the site to allow users to paste live videos on their profile from phones, laptops or other devices. At present users can only make posts within a word limit of 140.

And even the videos are expected be short in length, reports The Times .

Twitter has witnessed phenomenal success of late but still hasn’t found a way to make profit. Nonetheless, it has been valued at 630million pounds. Katy Perry, Stephen Fry, Sarah Brown, the Prime Minister’s wife, and Coldplay, the rock group, are some of the famous people in Britain who use Twitter.
