3 Twitter Video Clients
Written by Alan Thursday, 26 August 2010 08:00
Many of you probably use Twitter. And some you probably are familiar, and have used, one of the several popular photo-sharing sites that work with Twitter. But, probably less of you are familiar with the video-sharing sites that work with Twitter. So, if you fall into that last category then this article is for you. We are going to take a look at the three of those video sites.
There was one site I was planning to include called 12Seconds. I had used it several times and liked it, but when I accessed the website I was greeted with the following message:
12seconds.com expired on 08/07/2010 and is pending renewal or deletion.
Ah, the world of new web apps. Sometimes they just don’t make it, and when they disappear they take your stuff (in this case a few videos) with them.
TwitVid
TwitVid is probably the leader in this space (don’t confuse it with the, apparently, now defunct TwitVid.io). It’s simple and it’s included, as the default, in quite a few mobile (including TouchTwit which I use on my Windows Mobile phone) and PC twitter apps. You sign in with your Twitter login and password. You can upload video of up the 2 GB in size, which is more than enough, I think. In addition to being included in many popular Twitter apps, there are standalone app available for iPhone, Blackberry and Android. Plus you can upload videos via MMS and and Email.
yfrog
yfrog is a service that can handle both photos and video. The have mobile apps available for both Android and Blackberry, plus they are included in several Twitter apps – and, yes, some are iPhone apps. Some of the apps it’s available on include Twitter for iPhone, Tweetdeck, Seesmic Desktop, PowerTwitter, Twittelator, Twitterific, Twitdroid, and TwitterBerry.
TweeTube
While Tweetube retains a strong user base, it has never caught the traction of the other two service I looked at. They do offer quite a lot though. They not only handle video, but also photos, webcam videos, YouTube video sharing, and website URL’s. They offer compatability with the iPhone as well. You can share picture via email and even share links and bookmarks. This is a site that deserves to get more recognition than it has. Perhaps some Twitter app makers will begin including it as an option sometime soon.
