Newsbrief: Variety reports that Twitter hired former YouTube director of gaming content Rodrigo Velloso as its director of gaming partnerships. 

His remit will be getting more game content on Twitter -- from developers to YouTubers, Twitch streamers, conferences and conventions, and eSports stars.
