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 vs Seesmic
Seesmic vs 12seconds.tv
Phreadz.com vs 12seconds.tv
Hictu vs 12seconds vs Phreadz
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?
