I'm developing a semantic social infrastructure for OpenID that interlocks the relationship graph and activity graph. Users control social identity and privacy for every situation, all while building and managing digital legacy. Our system turns every person, group, network and event into a portable domain that is semantically linked to all associated domains and semantic properties. Result: A social web that reflects our real lives. Would be happy to demo.

Great video. Real refreshing and quite an eyeopener on how they run the startup. You gotta have a passion for what you do to create a successful site that goes beyond simply wanting to cash out and these guys have that in spades. I'm real happy for them as I've known Beach since before the launch and having learned more about Sol understand why they're successful. Good luck in 2009 guys.
- Mark Krynsky
I've been using 12seconds since their early days and I like it a lot. Like twitter, it's a simple idea and it's good to use when you don't have a lot of time to get into longer video conversations, such as on Seesmic. I find it great for recording twitter-style video messages on the run (mobile) and emailing to the site. It's fun. They are good people at 12seconds too - very friendly and responsive. I wish them all the best in 09.
- jjprojects
12 second video makes some really intriguing creative possibilities that Twitter simply can't facilitate as a text-based medium. I was talking to a friend of mine last night who is a freelance Flash developer. He wants to do a daily 12second video, but with a twist -- he's going to animate the blog and record a voiceover track with it. It'll be a bit of work, but it's a perfect mix of self-expression as well as demonstrating his Flash chops for potential business later.

Mona: they have no funding and are trying to build a real business!
- Robert Scoble
Good for them, but I will wait for Qik - no other Soc Nets charge for their iPhone apps! And I am not investing in a company that has no funding, even if it is 99cents!
- Mona Nomura
It's not like venture capitalists are experts at picking companies, either - check out the deadpool.
- Shawn Farner
Mona - so you'll invest in a company with no revenue/business model but NOT one that has no funding but expects to make money... wow... just... wow
- Brian Roy
What if Qik all of a sudden said they was going to charge for their app?
- Outsanity
What makes 12seconds stand out, Shawn?
- Mona Nomura
Mona, would you not use a product just because the company that make it has no funding?
- Amit Morson
Is Mona even on 12seconds?
- Outsanity
They're always adding features, but most importantly, they might be the last ones standing :). They know how to not burn through money and right now, that's perfect.
- Shawn Farner
it doesn't make videos, just 3 pics if I read the description right
- Clarence Westberg
I will not use them because they are charging for an app and have no funding. They do not stand out enough for me to want to actually support them. (I have been on 12seconds since July)
- Mona Nomura
The only thing I can say is they need some apps for phones that actually does video but, better than nothing at all, right?
- Outsanity
I have them, but don't use them. I had issues with trying to get my Mac to work with their service. I stuck with Seesmic due to that.
- Shevonne
MacBook or iMac? Mines works fine with them
- Outsanity
The bigger question is when is Qik coming out?!
- Elijah Nicolas
Can't believe people are carping about 99 cents, skip a 5 mile drive in your SUV
- Clarence Westberg
It's not the price, it's the principle.
- Mona Nomura
@Outsanity - The Macbook. I actually went on a few forums and it seems like others have been having issues as well
- Shevonne
Mona - OK I'll by that... what is the principal? That you only use stuff from funded companies?
- Brian Roy
@Shevonne, is the camera source on "USB Video Class Video"? I assume the MB cam is the same setting as on the iMac. If anything, you can email them about this issue.
- Outsanity
Qik works great on the N95, but I haven't tried 12seconds. The issue here seems to be reaching out to your existing social networks on other sites to let them know you've got something posted.
- Mr. Gunn
I did two weeks ago and never received a response. Maybe they have resolved it. I'll check it out tonight.
- Shevonne
No. I have said this repeatedly in this thread: They are charging, when no other Social Networks are, in addition to not being funded. Not only that, their app does not support video - which is what their site is about. I don't know about you, but that is beyond bizarre to me.
- Mona Nomura
OK - so the principle is that social networks shouldn't charge users - you won't join/participate in one that does. Did I get that right? BTW I'm not snarking at you, just trying to understand.
- Brian Roy
I find it weird people will charge for a Twitter app and people buy them
- Outsanity
Charging for use and charging for apps are two separate things - 12seconds is releasing an app (that does not even DO what the site is about) for 99cents. There is way too much competition out there, what sets them aside? I do not believe in them, so I do not want to invest my time and or money. And Brian, it takes a lot to offend me, but thank you for the courtesy. :)
- Mona Nomura
It's a glorified slideshow with audio not video, where is Qik?
- Justin Fowler
Mona - OK, got it. And like I tell my kids - There is no excuse for failing to be polite :)
- Brian Roy
Seems like a good work around for a (i)phone that doesn't do video unless you jailbreak. I mean, the problem is with Apple not 12seconds. 12seconds has tried to come up with a (i)phone option for their users. This is a company that has spent less than 100k to get operational and I believe they all still have day jobs. I'll try it out for .99; what the heck.
- Kenley Neufeld
i think Kenley hit the nail on the head. 12seconds are not at fault.
- Outsanity
I don't think it's Apple's fault, I'm throwing blame at AT&T telling Apple not to allow it because their network can't handle it.
- Justin Fowler
Bottomline: different strokes for different folks. That is the beauty of choices. :) And I disagree the fault lies with Apple. Big picture, people. Big picture.
- Mona Nomura
I don't know Mona. Just seems like a company like Apple could provide two key things on their phones: video and copy/paste. Of course, I'm just playing with 12seconds and remembering how Twitter started out (the question then was, why?). I still ask that a bit about 12seconds, but trying anyway. I do like seesmic too.
- Kenley Neufeld
Mona - This is Sol one of the founders of 12seconds. I hear you. Our app and our product isn't for everyone. However, we have every right to try to create revenue. We're doing our best given that Apple doesn't allow video and a huge percentage of our users have iPhones (and don't want to jailbreak it). 12seconds is about sharing moments, not live streaming video. We think the app accomplishes this. AND we think it is worth 99 cents (which isn't very much).
- Sol
Just made my first clip with the app; pretty simple and now I can view 12seconds videos on the iPhone. I do see some interesting application with the app. Check out this post: http://12seconds.tv/channel... compared to my post: http://12seconds.tv/channel...
- Kenley Neufeld
@ Shevonne "I did two weeks ago and never received a response. Maybe they have resolved it. I'll check it out tonight. - Shevonne Polastre" -------- I'm sorry if that slipped through the cracks. Please email me at david@12seconds.tv and we'll try to sort out your issue. Selecting the USB Class Video option would have been my first piece if advice as well. I'm sure we can get you straight.
- drs650
I think it looks pretty cool. Such negativity for .99. I paid 9.99 for MonkeyBall and I think I've played it once.
- James Hull
It's a slideshow with audio........... not exactly what I would want. Qik and Ustream both have iPhone apps in the queue. If they get approved, I hope 12seconds follows up with a video app
- Bwana ☠
Come January we should see a software upgrade from apple allowing video recording apps to run on all iPhones. So hang in there for a month.
- vijay
But why would people use this? What real-life problem does it solve? Is it just for fun and games? I don't get 12seconds.tv, personally.
- Jesse Stay
I downloaded it and think it's great, love the Ken Burns effect and the 3 pics may work out better than pics, I think they have stumbled upon a great app
- Clarence Westberg
Believe me... if iphone video recording was an option, we'd be all over it. If @vijay is correct, then we'd be very very happy. However the output is video, you are essentially making a video in the end, it's just all ken burnsy ;) Thanks to everyone for your support! We totally appreciate it. (12seconnds co-founder)
- David Beach
Sorry guys, in my earlier comment I said we should see video support via s/w upgrade soon, but a comment in another thread made me think about the EVIL that holds back iPhone - at&t. Video apps + support might be filtered out by at&t based on bandwidth concerns, like they did with removing podcaster and apple's 50 MB podcast limit. It's something we should have in the back of our heads.
- vijay
@drs650 - Thanks! I am going to check it out when I get home. If anything, I will email you.
- Shevonne
I don't really get what 12seconds is about, but dissing their app for being "not what the site is about"? seriously? Mona - you do know that video is just a series of photos strung together right?
- Jon Price
This is very strategic to me. Granted, their 99cent price will get them less takers, but once the iPhone sdk allows video capture, they will be on it like butter on a hot potato and release an update, and will be the 1st app on iPhone with video capabilities. Prob easier getting an update of an app through instead of a fresh app...
- Shazron Abdullah
they ripped me off... i talked about this same concept weeks ago on seesmic for a seesmic iphone app. I've been working on it over a month.

Twitter is for broadcasting, not for conversations. Ergo, more followers means a bigger audience for your pronouncements. FriendFeed is for conversations where you can actually follow along and contribute.

I hate to just be an echo, but I think Glen is right.
- Neal Jansons
from twhirl
The thing about though is that FF can be used as a broadcasting medium as well - at least from the point of the original poster. There is no need for the original poster to participate in any generated conversation for the original post to have value.
- Brian Sullivan
Dunno. I don't even know how many people follow me. There or here. Just don't care.
- Cyndy
That's true, Brian. However, Twitter actively prevents conversations: (a) no threading; (b) no view of responses unless you're following a respondee; (c) no way to post messages to a conversation—they're broadcast to everyone. FF at least provides a mechanism to participate.
- Glen, Bespectacled Elder
Glen - my comment wasn't in any way support for Twitter - I think it should and will disappear ('course I am a curmudgeon - I feel the same about Facebook)
- Brian Sullivan
@glen - I'm not sure many people would agree with that. 98% of my friends on Twitter *are* using it for conversation.
- Tamar Weinberg
What do you think when you see someone on twitter with 3000 followers and following 100? What do you think when you see someone on twitter following 1000 and has only 10 followers? Which one would you be more likely to actually follow yourself? There are people that will judge you by the ratio of following to followers. It's not like FF at all. FF is much more social and how many follow you doesn't matter in the least bit. You can still have a blast with nobody following you, here.
- April Russo (app103)
April, I'm one of those people (both on Twitter and FF) with lots of followers but I only follow a few. I don't have time to keep up with a lot of people and I'm really picky about what kind of content I let into my feeds. I don't care if people judge me for it! It's how I keep involved by also maintain my sanity.
- Rochelle
I really don't know. Twitter is just too disjointed for me to follow and actually have conversations. Sometimes it just seems like the equivalent of walking down the street talking loudly to yourself and hoping someone joins in. Where as here on FF, I feel more like a bunch of folks sitting together chatting... and getting down and rowdy sometimes. :)

Imaginary friend is great,but wouldn't be great if FF add a sort of reader button on the front page,the rss reader function is hide so inside that people seldom use it, I wish Google Reader to add some FF feature, and at the same time, I wish FF to add some GR function as well Wouldn't be great that we can subscribe and share feed in one place,I mean a great place,GR and FF just do one function well,you know.
- Steve Chou
Steve - I think FriendFeed should make the imaginary friend feed more easily accessible. Since no one is commenting or liking it, it gets buried really quickly. If you want a tab to your GoogleReader, try using this GreaseMonkey script: http://userscripts.org/scripts...

Is it a sort of Firefox addons? I wish FF will do this itself

Yes. You need to install GreaseMonkey first (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US...) then you can install the script.
