How To Distribute Video Blogs With TwitVid

TwitVid is an innovative web application that allows you to upload videos from your computer or Phone right onto Twitter or Facebook. It’ll compress the video for you, as well as create a URL for you. In other words, it’s an easy to use all-in-one process.

I’ve been having lots of fun using the TwitVid app on my droid based phone. It’s actually an easy way to send pictures as well as videos. Although TwitVid does not limit the length of your video [as long as it's under 2GB] it’s a good idea to keep TwitVids extremely short. Twitter is not designed for people with long attention spans.

How to use TwitVid

Step 1: Click the Upload Button

Click the big blue button on the right hand side of the TwitVid website. (http://www.twitvid.com)

It’s that easy to use TwitVid to upload or record files from your computer. But what about from an iPhone?

It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s free to use TwitVid to send videos to Twitter or Facebook. You don’t have to worry about compression or setting up links yourself, it’s all done on your behalf. It works just as well from both your computer and your smartphone. It’s a great way to send out an invitation or an announcement to help more people trust you and connect with you.
