Got $130 on you? Spectacles, Snapchat’s much-touted video-sharing glasses, are now available for purchase across the U.S. Until now, the glasses were only available in a handful of quirky vending machines situated in select U.S. cities.

It’s becoming a rule of thumb: If you’re a Facebook-owned company, you’re probably going to emulate Snapchat’s Stories. Next up is the messaging service WhatsApp, which has begun rolling out a version of the short video feature. Facebook’s Instagram did the same last year, and Facebook’s primary mobile app is currently testing a Stories feature of its own. The WhatsApp version, which has been undergoing beta testing since late last year, is now launching in France and the Netherlands. Next it’ll debut in Spain, Israel, the U.K., and Saudi Arabia. A wider rollout is expected in the coming weeks.
 
 

AOL recently conducted a global study across seven markets in an effort to better understand consumer, advertiser and publisher trends surrounding digital video. Some of their findings:
 
– The shorter, the better: Thanks to dwindling attention spans, the shorter a video, the more likely consumers are to watch it: 42% of global consumers reported watching video that runs 5 minute or less every day, and that number shrinks as the videos get longer.
– 360 video and VR are not just a novelty: 49% of US consumers are experiencing 360-degree video on mobile. 31% of US consumers and 21% of consumers in Southeast Asia report that they expect to watch more video in VR in 2017. Canadian and UK consumers, however, were not as inclined with just 9% of them expecting to watch more VR.
– Longer load times are keeping buyers at bay: 43% of US advertisers report spending less on mobile video ads due to long load times. 
– Mobile spend is taking from TV budgets: Globally, both advertisers and publishers report increasing their spend on mobile. In fact, 47% of advertisers and 57% of publishers plan to increase mobile ad spend by at least 25% in 2017.
