The Verge Thursday Twitter also announced a raft of new partners, including A&E, Bloomberg Television, Clear Channel, MLB and several others who will be using the company's Amplify program to push clips, extras, and other goodies to Twitter users who are watching live. For Twitter, it's a sign that its still-young advertising business has been a success, especially around live events.
