Mixing Twitter with YouTube Never Looked So Fresh: Meet TwitVid's New Video ...
20.05.12
Video is now officially the startup word of week. After yesterday's launch of Cinemoz , a new revolution is brewing in online viewing today: TwitVid is launching a completely video-focused social network.
While TwitVid previously worked as an easy uploading platform for sharing videos on Twitter (think Twitpic for videos), it has now flipped the concept on its head, making its own stream a go-to place to find cool new videos. You could say it used to be “video for Twitter.” Now it’s aiming to be the Twitter of video.
Does the world need Twitter for videos? Absolutely, says Jordanian founder Mo al Adham, who spoke at CoE last year about his monetization strategy and offered an entrepreneurship survival guide . “The problem with finding good videos online right now is that it’s a fragmented process,” he says. “People rely on their Twitter feed and their Facebook feed, and they search on YouTube, which is a bit painful. While there are several other niche networks, like Instagram for photos, LinkedIn for professionals, there isn’t a network that will simply let you discover amazing videos.”
