Michael Jackson music video premiered on Twitter

Epic Records has premiered a video for a new Michael Jackson single on Twitter - a coup for the social network, which is more commonly used to provide links to others' material.

To promote the event, Twitter created a map showing the late singer's top-tweeted songs in different countries.

The release comes in the same week that the firm declared its goal was to bring "more video into our users' timelines".

It added that it sought to make money by charging for "promoted" slots.

"We now offer advertisers the ability to run ads with a new cost per view (CPV) ad buying model," David Regan, senior product manager, TV and Video wrote on its advertising news page.

"This means advertisers only get charged when a user starts playing the video.

"Additionally, advertisers using Promoted Video have access to robust video analytics, including completion percentage and a breakout of organic versus paid video views."
