12mail = 12seconds + Twitter + Facebook + iPhone
September 22, 2009 at 11:58 AM EDT
At our Real-Time Stream CrunchUp in July, 12seconds previewed a new iPhone application to send video messages to your Twitter and Facebook followers. Today, the app, called 12mail Video Messenger, is finally live in the App Store. To refresh your memory, basically, the app allows you to send short videos to your friends in the same way that you might send them text messages. Once you download the app, you simply input your Twitter or Facebook (or both) credentials and you have access to your contact lists from those services. From there, if you want to send a message to someone you're connected with on Twitter, simply enter in their name, record the video (or use a pre-recorded one) and it will send them a direct message with a link to the video.
