If you’re looking for a way to share videos and audio on Twitter while you’re out and about, go ahead and give the Tvider a try.
Made by parent company Unmundo, the application lets you send videos, pictures, and audios on Twitter from a desktop or mobile phone. You can use it with nearly any phone too because there are apps available for the iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Symbian, Java, and Brew.
“A picture is worth a thousand words and video is worth a billion,” said Prashant Parekh, Umundo CEO, in a prepared statement. “If we empower people to express themselves with rich media, that is worth even more.”
I downloaded the app this morning for my Droid and feel like it’s a good tool that just need to work the kinks out. The aesthetics are really well-done with little touches like a cute little bird while tweets are loading. It’s very simple to shoot out videos or watch other people’s videos. The film quality isn’t great, but it does get the job done for quick-hit videos. I think my main problem with the app is that it should be a full-blown Twitter client. There’s a timeline feature where you can see other people’s multimedia posts, but not text-only posts. My version also seemed a little buggy because I had to force close it twice today – that could be easily worked out with updates though.
I’ll be using this app on the expo floor at the Game Developer’s Conference this afternoon, so feel free to follow along by adding me on Twitter (@marinperez).
