Media, or press, releases are increasingly sent electronically, and as a consequence the "Social Media Release" is born! To demonstrate, I have reformatted this original release (found via MarketWire) in to a social media release. Here is a common template of a social media release.

Quote from CEO and co-founder, Mo Al Adham: "Over the last four years, we've seen more than 10 million videos uploaded to Twitvid. iPhones and Android devices have caused an exponential growth in the amount of video published on the web. How can users find great video to watch, and how do video creators, both big and small, reach relevant viewers when over 100 hours of video is uploaded every minute? This is a big problem that we understand well, and today Telly is taking the first step in reshaping how online video is viewed and distributed in today's world."
