Is Twitter Preparing To Get Into The Web Series Game?

According to a report from Mike Shields of Adweek, Twitter is “in serious talks about the possibility of launching several original video series via Twitter.”  They already serve as a major platform for the sharing of web video, with over 500 video links being tweeted out every minute, but it looks like they are preparing to take things a step further, with new original video content that will actually live on the site.

Twitter has declined to comment, but several unnamed sources provided Shields with details about the new initiative, including the fact that the first project could be launched as early as this fall.
