Microblogging is all about sharing media – be it text, images, or videos. We’ve never talked about video microblogging, but there are a couple good platforms for participating in the video world. There’s 12seconds.tv, Viddler 15s, and Seesmic, just to name a few.

12seconds.tv

This is the platform that’s most like a true microblog. It’s laid out just like you’ve grown to love; you have friends who create videos that show up in your timeline. Though I feel 12 seconds is not enough time to convey a message, the interface will make most people feel at home. Another nice thing this service provides is a shortened URL (such as http://tiny12.tv/DHI9I) that comes with each video.

Viddler 15s

With Viddler 15s, you can use your Viddler account to record 15 second clips. Those clips show up with the rest of your videos, which makes it less like a true microblogging platform. Viddler integrates with Twitter to send a message with a link to your video when you’ve finished recording it. An alternate method of uploading a video is to tag it with the ’15seconds’ tag.

On a curious side note, neither of the two videos I’ve recorded have actually been saved anywhere. I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong other than choosing not to send it to Twitter.

Seesmic

Seesmic allows you to follow other people to see their videos or send videos directly to another user. You can also create a video reply to someone else’s video. All videos must be at least 5 seconds long.

I was immediately replied to by a couple people I didn’t know. You can see from the embedded video that replies to my original are pretty easy to view. As the couple guys in the reply said, it’s easy to get into conversations with new people and meet people on Seesmic.

Recommendation

If you want the typical microblogging feel, I’d suggest 12seconds.tv, though each service has their own niches. Seesmic is more of a community of its own, and the other two services feel like they complement your Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, etc accounts.

If you’re into video microblogging and use a service not listed above, leave a comment and let us know why you like it.
