Over the last few weeks I have been playing around with 12seconds.tv a lot and have to say its a fun little service. Not gonna change the world or find a cure for cancer but a kool little service.
Once thing I didnt like was not having an rss feed to throw into google reader or on my friendfeed to know when a contact had updated.
So for that I went to Yahoo Pipes and the 12seconds API. Armed with that and help from my buddy Olivier you now can get that information. Its a simple feed with not a lot of information but it does what I need and that is updating me via rss.
note : all you need to do is go into the source code and take my username out unless you want my friends updates hehe.
enjoy and if you come up with or find something better please do let me know!
……or to at least create a video with the new micro-videocasting service 12seconds.
The concept of 12seconds is pretty easy to grasp . You shoot a video that is 12 seconds in legth on your phone or webcam and then share it with the world…that easy. Pretty simple concept and execution but can be loads of fun just throwing little videos up on the site.
I kind of think of it as the twitter of video where you have a limited about of time instead of characters minus all the downtime us tweeters are use to these days. Oh and speaking of twitter you can setup to alert all your followers on twitter when you have a new video to share with the interweb.
12seconds is currently in alpha so you have to have an invite to get in on the action. Need one? Just leave a comment with your email addy and I will get one out to ya.
