12seconds.tv introduces 12Mail video messaging app

12seconds.tv is extending its bite-sized video service - 12 seconds per video, as the name implies - into the mobile universe, with a nice-looking video messaging app for the iPhone. 12mail [app store link] lets you send short video messages to your contacts, which it can pull from your Facebook or Twitter accounts, if you like. Recording a new video (if you have an iPhone 3GS) and sending a saved video are both supported. You can even take a still picture and record an audio track instead of going for a full video.

If your friends have 12mail, they'll get push notifications when they receive your messages, and they'll be able to watch them using the iPhone's built-in video app. If they don't, the messages can be posted on their Facebook walls or sent privately via Twitter direct message. The 12-second time limit really works in 12mail's favor on the iPhone, considering the limited upload speeds on 3G and EDGE. 12Mail is also free, in case you needed another reason to give it a shot.

iPhone 3GS + 12seconds.tv + Twitter = 12cast

What do you get when you mix the new iPhone 3GS, the micro-video site 12Seconds.tv and Twitter? It's a free app called 12cast, and it's the fastest way to send 12-second video straight from your iPhone to Twitter. In case you're not familiar with 12Seconds.tv, it is to YouTube what Twitter was to blogs: a speedy, concise version of a good idea.

Using 12cast is almost ridiculously easy. You put in your Twitter login, turn the phone sideways, and video starts recording automatically. Like 12Seconds.tv, 12cast limits you to 12 seconds of video. When you're done, you can preview it, retake it, title it and send it to Twitter. You can also use 12cast to upload existing short videos that might already be on your phone.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
