12 Second Video “Tweets”
12seconds.tv beta – 12seconds
12 Second Video from May 28, 2009 – On This Day In History 365 Series
12seconds is the best place online for video status updates. It’s a super easy way to share what you’re doing with your friends and family using short video clips. You can use your web cam or mobile phone. Show your friends where you are, share your thoughts, or tell them how you’re doing. We are building a video status platform that will help you keep up to date with your friends 12 seconds at a time.
12seconds.tv is not affiliated with Twitter, but calling the twelve second video clips “Tweets” seems natural and generic, like Kleenex and Coke. One can post one’s short 12second video clips to the Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and FriendFeed networks using this service, but the 12second folks have created their own Twitteresque social stream network around video clips, not short text messages.
I’ve noticed that most of my “mature” friends and elders are not interested in making videos of themselves and I wonder how they will react to the coming ubiquity of video phone services. It will be the younger folks who quickly adopt and make services like 12seconds successful. In the future this new generation will wax nostalgic about the “old days” when people just talked on phones and Tweeted text.
I’ve set up my own channel at 12seconds. While I enjoy communicating with my friends and family via text and voice, I think video is the next best thing to being there.
Update 05/07/2009: I recently started a one year project creating and posting one 12second video clip a day on a single historic event from each respective day – “On This Day In History.” Come join me and learn some history in only twelve seconds.
