TwitVid Launches Analytics and Real-time Search for Videos on Twitter
Dec 14th
If you share your own video clips on Twitter, chances are you use or have used TwitVid, a service that easily integrates with mobile Twitter clients and with your Twitter account.
Today the company is launching a whole suite of tools that will make sharing videos via Twitter faster and easier, including real-time video search, video analytics and virtual gifting.
Real-time Search
TwitVid.com now offers real-time search, which highlights popular videos being shared on Twitter. TwitVid aggregates videos being shared via TwitVid and YouTube on Twitter and then uses a special algorithm to separate videos by relevancy, freshness and real-time popularity.
Analytics
Video analytics has the potential to be the most powerful tool for brands or individuals who use Twitter to share videos. The analytics tool tracks how many times videos are tweeted, how many times they are viewed and where people who click on video links live.
Even if you already use tools like HootSuite or YouTube’s built-in analytics, TwitVid can be a very valuable tool — it goes that additional step and analyzes viewer demographics, not just the number of the tweets or Twitter referrals.

LUNCHTIME POLL: What’s Your Favorite Video Sharing Service?
Nov 20th
It’s Friday, people, which means that not only is it Follow Friday, it’s also time for the Lunchtime Poll! Last week we wanted to know about your favorite news reader (or whether you use RSS at all). We’ll have the results for you later today, but let’s get a head start on the new poll: what’s your favorite video sharing service?
We’ll start off with some responses from the staff here at Mashable, and let you fine folks have at it in the comments. Be sure to let us know along with your vote why you chose it as your favorite. We’ll post the results next week to show the zeitgeist from Mashable readers.
Are you in? Let’s roll the question!
What’s your favorite video sharing service?
Mashable Faves
Adam Ostrow: YouTube or Ustream. It’s all about the content.
Pete Cashmore: YouTube.
Sharon Feder: I’m not a power user, but Vimeo is definitely my favorite.
Ben Parr: Viddler, YouTube, and Ustream, depending on the situation.
Christina Warren: Vimeo, because it has the best quality.
Barb Dybwad: I like Qik for mobile, Flickr for short visually-interesting clips, and YouTube for an endless stream of distractions punctuated by hilarious cats.
Tamar Weinberg: YouTube because it actually can process Kodak Zi6 videos (Flickr and Vimeo cannot), but Vimeo has a really awesome GUI.
