Video microblogging from your mobile

I just got wind of 12seconds.tv after hearing that they had recently launched their mobile site. This cute little site lets folks post 12 second videos not only from webcams on their computers, but e-mailed from your mobile phone as well. The setup has a distinctly Twitter-esque vibe to it, and in fact allows for automated video posting to existing Twitter accounts. I’d like to see some geotagging functionality to work with integrated GPS units to make it a little more like Spotjots, but that may entail some tailored applications on a per-handset basis – still, it’s something to look forward to. It’s is also incredibly tricky to know when your 12 seconds is up if you have the phone pointed at yourself.

12seconds is still in early testing phases, but definitely worth your while if you’re looking for something a little beefier than Twitpic to spruce up your feed. If you sign up, be sure to add me! If you’re looking for something more in a live streaming service, Qik is a fine mobile-centric alternative.
