For lovers of Twitter, little is as exciting as adding a new dimension to their tweets.
BlackBerry users will be tickled by TwitVid, a simple way to post short videos on Twitter using their phones (TwitVid, and similar apps have been available on the iTunes App Store for months).
After downloading the App, using it is simple. From within the app, click “Record a New Video,” record, enter your tweet and send. It will be posted on your Twitter page with a link to the video. TwitVid will tell you how many characters are left to type, allowing for the link, so you don’t run over your allotment.
Although your message is limited in length, Adil Lalani, co-founder of TwitVid, said the site puts no limit on the length of a video (your carrier or phone may restrict the size of files, though).
Anyone with a video phone can use TwitVid, even without an app. First log in at the TwitVid Web site, which will assign you an e-mail address. Using that assigned address, send a video as an MMS or an e-mail with the video as an attachment with your tweet in the subject line. It will post like a standard tweet.
Now instead of just telling people you are having coffee — again — you can show them how you look drinking it.
