Video blogging (vlogging). People don't want to type anymore, it's all about video updates. A lot of companies failed trying to offer a platform for video updates years ago (wrong timing). Thanks to Youtube, in 2017 it's the perfect year for that, look at instagram/snapchat stories. They shutdown vine which I think was the future of twitter. They should have replaced the 140 characters by a 15s video. Twitter, if you're looking to hire someone to drive this switch, contact me.

So add "veets", video tweets

  It could still be a tweet, but in a video format.

    Use machine learning and limit the number of spoken characters to 140 :O

Twitter already does video really well IMO. I use video in tweets all the time, and I watch videos from my timeline all the time. Why can't they continue both? Yes they shut down Vine, but Periscope is making some interesting moves to mimic youtube and facebook live, but with the benefit of first-party blessing in the official apps and on the web.

  I'm not a big believer in live video. Viewers and content creators have to be online at the same time on the same platform. You get less traffic and zero flexibility. People end up looking at replays of a live events. This is not where the money is... By switching %100 to videos Twitter will avoid bulling and anonymous messages/accounts. Users will have to put their faces out there. Plus it's the hottest topic in 2017... video updates. That might piss off a lot of users at first but will bring in a bunch of new sign ups. Twitter needs a real face lift.
