Is 12Seconds.tv Twitter for Video? Alpha Invites Available Here

Written on: July 27th, 2008

Shoemoney wrote a post about a new video service in Alpha called 12seconds.tv. Users go to the site and create 12-second videos about what they are doing at the moment.

Very short updates combined with high frequency and social community makes this service a heck of a lot like Twitter for video. They are tightly controlling the number of users as they load test their servers and as a result, the Alpha is invitation-only right now.

Add me as a 12Seconds Friend

I sent some emails to bloggers asking for an invite before I contacted Dave Speiser with Stage Two Consulting. Dave is heading up the marketing for 12Seconds and judging by the stories on TechCrunch, and the LA Times I should have hired him to promote Top Affiliate Challenge!

Dave got me an invite in oh, about 12 seconds, as well as the promise of a LOT more invites for the session I am speaking at during the Media Breakaway Conference in mid-August. If you want an invite drop a comment and I will get you one.

I don’t understand why should we need some invitation just to create a short video for them. We could just create a video then upload it to youtube. This way we could create a longer video and get some good traffic in the process.

I did enter my email on their site, but I believe I missed the initial offering of alpha invites. I’d appreciate if you could hook me up with one via Dave. Thanks!!

I see what you are saying and that was my initial reaction. But YouTube is just not designed for rapid-response posting. They do have a lot of social networking components and you COULD post a short video, but these videos play in a time line unlike YouTube.
