Twitter is making more changes to its mobile advertising platform. In a blog post celebrating one full year of mobile ads, Twitter says app ads will soon have the option to be video-based.

This new bidding type allows app install advertisers to optimize their bids according to install, while still paying by app click — offering another way to lower cost-per-installs and yield the highest possible ROI.
