Twitter To Beta Test New Marketing System Based On Movies-Related Tweets Michael Lee, September 29, 2014September 29, 2014 For press members that attend screenings, we normally tweet our reactions to the film we just saw on twitter.

Not only are people hearing about new movies on Twitter, they are using it to make a decision about what to see, then sharing their experience with friends,” says Jeffrey Graham, Twitter’s global head of research. “The research highlighted just how many different opportunities there are for marketers to connect with this behavior on Twitter.” News Social Networks Twitter
