Want to think beyond text status updates? Then you must think about video, as video is interactive and interesting. But, where you are going to post your video status updates? I am sure that it is not possible with Twitter or other similar services. So, here comes 12seconds into the scene. 12seconds is a new video status platform that you can use to share where you are or what you’re doing by using short video clips.

As the name says, on 12seconds, you can wrap your thoughts within a 12 second long video clip and share it with your friends and family. The catch is here! You will get only 12 seconds to tell about your status. If you are creative, then 12 seconds is enough to tell what you did on your blog or what you took in dinner! On the other hand, short videos means there are lesser chances of boring your viewers!

You can record and share 12 second long video updates with just about any mobile phone or a web cam. Just record your video and email or MMS it to the unique email address that 12seconds gave you and your video status is up and available for the world. You can easily share your video by using the unique link or the embed code provided by 12seconds.

12seconds is a free service and right now it is in private alpha stage. So, it requires an invitation to get an account. If you are unable to get an invitation from other sources, then you can request them for one by providing your email address.
