Tweeting Through Your Mobile Video

Blackberry users will be able to tweet their mobile videos using TwitVid, according to a New York Times report. The recent announcement is creating some excitement among BlackBerry users who want to share their mobile videos via Twitter. Now it is possible to instantly share videos of everything from your kids's first home run to citizen journalism reports of unfolding events.

With the recent success of TwitPic, an app that allows Twitter users to share photos, mobile video tweeting seems like the natural progression for Twitter fans. TwitPic has over 2.5 million users a month, reports TechCrunch. "Celebrities on Twitter are now using it, and it made headlines around the world when a man snapped a picture of the Hudson plane crash and posted it to the service. The Twitter community, it seems, wants a way to share media via the micro-messaging service. And the next logical step in that is video. Enter TwitVid."

Read on to learn how you can broadcast your own videos to your Twitter followers.

Make your Video

Step 1It's easy to start tweeting video. Start with the TwitVid app. The application is available for both BlackBerry and iPhones. Find the BlackBerry app on BlackBerry App World and iPhone users can get the app from the iTunes App Store. The apps are free to download.

Step 2Download the app to your phone. TwitVid enables you to post your TwitVids automatically to Twitter as well as other social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube.

Step 3When you want to tweet a video, simply open the app. Select "Record a New Video" and shoot your video. The TwitVid site does not put a limit on video length. However, it's important to check both your carrier and your phone for file size restrictions.

Step 4When you're ready to tweet your video, enter the text to accompany your video tweet and hit "Send." The video will be posted to the TwitVid site. The TwitVid app generates a shortened URL as part of your tweet and will warn you if you type too many characters in your tweet.

Step 5Every video has "like" and "retweet" buttons, which feed back into the Twitter stream and can quickly spread your video among many more Twitter users.
