12seconds.tv

So I know I’m fairly late to try out 12seconds.tv but I’ll blame that on my love appreciation for Seesmic. I have friends on Seesmic, some that I’ve met their and some that I’ve met in “real life”. Never the less a new “video twitter” social software is out called 12seconds.tv. As you may have guest (cause you’re a damn genius) the videos that you can post are capped at 12 seconds. Similar to Twitter’s 140 character limit 12seconds.tv limits your content.

Some people argue that this will improve one’s ability to scan many videos quickly making it more “checkable” and some argue that the content you can post in 12 seconds is bound to be terrible and thus not worth “checking” in the first place. Either way that is not what has attracted me to 12seconds.tv.  What has made me begin to use 12seconds.tv is that you can email in 12 second video to a custom to your account URL and they will automatically post to your account. Cool, right? Right. The reason that this is so cool is because most any cell phone now can take video and most any cell phone can send email and 1+1=2 right. So video + email = practically live videos directly to the web!

I’ve become a huge fan of video on the web. I have have my video posts with Ryan G TV, I very regularly use Seesmic, and I religiously use Twitter, and now I have short video’s from my mobile phone with 12seconds.tv.

Loic as soon as you guys at Seesmic give me the ability to send in vids from my mobile I’ll drop 12seconds.tv because honestly I don’t like the time limit. But for now this is easy and its accessible to the masses and that is what will make any web app work!
