There’s nothing new in the fact that you can embed video on your blog or on your page on a social networking site. However, sometime it’s a painful process if you don’t have a mobile phone which can upload a video directly to the video sharing service like YouTube or Vox. That’s why the provider of audio and video communication tools for social networks Springdoo decided to jump in with the new service that uses any video calling enabled 3G mobile phone.
Basically, what you need to do is make a video call to 88388, record for up to 5 minutes and hang up. The video then instantly appears within the users’ Springdoo account, and from there you can easily embed it to your blog or to your page on any popular social network like MySpace or Facebook, using SpringCast Widget. Hack, you can even add a video to your eBay listing to additional persuade the potential buyer.
As far as I see, this is the easiest and most convenient way to add some video to your page. The bad news is that at this stage the service only works in the UK. Hopefully, Springdoo will soon make its service available in other countries as well.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
