Video microblogging and Statistics

Posted on 04 August 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I was playing with Alexa to see how my company’s video microblogging Hictu was performing since the launch of version 2.0.

I have to say I’ve been much surprised about the results. While Seesmic, thanks to the popularity of his CEO, the enormous amount of money they received and the huge visibility they get everyday on Techcrunch was “dominating” this slice of market, things are a little bit changing now.

Hictu 2.0 is not performing bad and the difference with 1.0 is evident. In addition, other players are coming out, like 12seconds.tv and Phreadz.com. I look forward to seeing what happens in the next months and, in particular, whether micro video blogging will finally get to a mass usage or it will remain a thing for a niche.

The question is: is Twitter for the masses instead?

Look at this: Twitter vs Seesmic.

Ok, microblogging vs video microblogging 1-0. But, let’s see Facebook vs Twitter:

Where is Twitter?

    Hi Luca,

    Interesting post. I think one of issues worth pointing out also, is that Phreadz is still in private beta testing mode and Seesmic is mostly a flash/flex-only interface.

    Also, interesting to see that Hictu is going after the blog commenting features of Seesmic (looking at the form above this) - I don't intend to go down this route with Phreadz, preferring to work more on the community and conversations on the Phreadz site, while also allowing them to continue on other domains = but not as blog comments.

    Cheers and best of luck! :)
    Kosso
