#pmharper update on 12seconds.tv
I am. (Go ahead and watch and then come back)
Not sure how 'rich' the experience or information on this service will be but I'm game to try it out. Thoughts? Suggestions? The video here is shot off the built-in iSight on my Apple MacBook and that's me sitting at my desk in the nation's capital.
The rules for 12seconds.tv are pretty basic: You get 12 seconds! Whether you use all 12 or not, it's a 12-second clip. That's mighty tight. When I was at CTV, I usually got 15-18 seconds for my stand-up at the end. CBC reporters are allowed to drone on a little longer, maybe up to 20 seconds. But 12 seconds? Man, that's tight!
I'm posting these 12seconds videos to Twitter. My Twitter app – TweetDeck — allows one to keep a separate window open for 12seconds.
Forget the toys. Just worry about the content.
