Twitter has been one of the biggest social networking options out there for a long time, but when it comes to features, it’s a bit behind “the other guys.”

That list of missing features has just been whittled down a bit, as the company has just unveiled some long-requested features in the ability to upload videos directly to the service, and the ability to direct message more than one person. The new features will be rolling out to Android users in the coming days.

While group direct messaging is probably one of the most oft-requested features for Twitter, the ability to directly upload 30-second videos to the platform will probably go a long way, too, for heavy users. At 30 seconds long, though, one would imagine that brands selling their stuff will probably have more fun with it.
