It’s Like Twitter For Videos: Viddy!
Social networks come and go; that is rapidly becoming one of the realities of the Internet. What is fascinating to see is how the different social networks attempt to appeal to different niches, whether they try to make their appeal from the interface device or to a target demographic. LinkedIn appeals to professionals, Facebook appeals to friends with shared interests, Twitter appeals to cellphone users who are on the go; each social network has a niche. Until now, no social network has been built around the sudden prevalence of video technology on smartphones. That changes with the emergence of Viddy!
Viddy is most analogous to Twitter in that it is a social network built on very short communications. Like Twitter, Viddy appeals strongly to the smartphone users who love to stay connected and share material through their smartphones. As a more sophisticated way of social networking, Viddy uses videos as a platform for its network!
With its very simple mission statement and interface, Viddy is easy to use and fun. Hoping to capture “life in the moment,” Viddy is for people who use their smartphones frequently and want to capture the world around you. When you join Viddy, you have the ability to take and share videos with all of your friends. Because Viddy limits your videos to fifteen seconds each, the Twitter analogy holds. Viddy is a way for friends to share short bursts of information. Viddy makes those bursts with videos, as opposed to texting.
At this point in its development, Viddy is delightfully free of advertising. Corporations have not yet figured out how to fit effective advertisements into the fifteen second limit and as a result, Viddy users get a social network that is focused, direct, and true to the vision of the network’s creators.
Even if you do not have a smartphone, or have a smartphone that does not have video making capabilities, Viddy is a lot of fun. Several celebrities have started using Viddy to give video status updates. As well, seeing Viddy clips from your friends when they are on vacations can be a cool way to stay connected.
Viddy is still comparatively small, but with such a fun concept as sharing video blurbs, it won’t remain a well-kept secret long! Check it out!
