Do you Twitter? Do you video-blog? Do you YouTube?

If the answer is “Yes” then the new Hictu! is for you. What about a realtime micro-video blogging service?

  • publish your thoughts and ideas and share them with other Hictu! users
  • record and publish your videos on a public timeline
  • share your favorite feeds
  • create your video blog in 30 seconds
  • manage your contacts’ presence information
  • manage your presence status and stay in touch with your contacts
  • join discussions in a totally new way
  • respond to posts with a realtime video
  • become a realtime video journalist
  • full access from your mobile phone (mobile.hictu.com)

Hictu! is a new way to join discussions and to let the world know your ideas through brief micro-blogging messages or through 30 seconds micro videoblog posts.

Since its first launch a few months ago, Hictu! has evolved deeply, trying to follow our users’ requests and keeping an eye on the new market trends. People want to be part of communities, sharing their ideas, spreading the word about new services, events and other cool news. People want to let the world know what they can do, what they know and want to share their experiences with the rest of the world and video is surely the best way to do that.

The micro-videoblogging experience is totally new to internet users. Twitter brought the “what are you doing” motto to users, who quickly understood how to use it to share their thoughts and ideas with friends and “followers”. Video really brings a new dimension to all of this, since you can now record your video and post it immediately, making it viewable by thousand users worldwide.

You can also create your micro video blog on a specific topic and share the related permalink on your blog and/or on discussion forums, asking people to reply through a text message, a video or even an audio-only message.

After you try it, I can assure you that you’ll become addicted. This is an early beta, so you will surely find bugs and other issues, but more releases are planned for the following weeks, so please stay tuned.

In the meantime, register to Hictu! now and let me know your thoughts.
