Last fall, Twitter acquired video creation and sharing company Vine for an undisclosed amount. Now, a day after Twitter announced the launch of enhanced Tweet embeds, which support videos, Twitter CEO has tweeted out a video using Vine (via TechCrunch). It looks something like this:

Common thinking around the Blogosphere is that this translates to Twitter getting ready to launch its own video offering based on Vine, which would be pretty big for Twitter users, no longer having to rely on third-party services.
And with the new, neat embeds, we can probably expect to start seeing interesting (and not so interesting) videos from celebrities and other users all over the web.
