London: Micro blogging site Twitter has acquired advertising analytics company Bluefin Labs.
The company confirmed the news but did not disclose terms of the deal.
Twitter Chief Operating Officer Ali Rowghani said in a blog post announcing the deal: “Bluefin’s data science capabilities and social TV expertise will help us create innovative new ad products and consumer experiences in the exciting intersection of Twitter and TV.”
In the past year the privately held microblogging service has made the integration of Twitter and television the centerpiece of its growth strategy.
Under Chief Executive Dick Costolo, the company has encouraged marketers to incorporate Twitter “hashtags” into their TV ads to generate online chatter, while also nudging its 200 million monthly users to discuss ads that are being aired.
