I think this will be a small fad – i cant make 40 tweet videos a day but i can tweet 40 times a day. It is making the service less usable – video is not the right medium for twitter.

12Seconds.tv is an on and off thing. Once they’re used by a blogger, they’re used by all, but then it stops and falls back down. Kind of similar to the recession in a way.

I think the video idea is a good one.. but I’m still not into the whole twitter idea! It really does seem a bit too “big brother” like to me!! Who has time to wonder what other people are doing?!

This is a nice idea, but I think the allure of twitter is that you can quickly fire off a tweet while you’re doing something else.

Do you really think that people will record videos to upload?

Also, a lot of people are still on slow internet connections, which makes using something like this next to impossible.

Hi Shanker,

So it seems this will be the next Twitter but in video. It was a good idea that they allow send videos from your phone, that is the way to compete in this social market. Time will prove if they were right about this idea.
