New site called 12 Seconds just started and my friend Big Dave sent me a invite to the beta. I might have a bunch of beta invites soon… I will keep you posted.
The service is pretty simple… record 12 seconds of video. Its like the twitter of video. Its pretty sweet but a little intimidating!

Thats great idea great website thanks shoe 12sec vids
July 27, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Our bandwidth in South Africa is slow, 12 seconds wont use much.
July 27, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Also a nice catchy name, would like to see it in action.
July 27, 2008 at 1:14 pm
I just went to http://tools.shoemoney.com/ and it says the video preview is no longer available, what’s up with that.
July 27, 2008 at 1:13 pm
I missed it as well, heard about it off-line from a friend. If its PPC tools I am really interested.
July 27, 2008 at 3:09 am
i guess i could just stand there and promote one of my lander’s or websites lol
July 26, 2008 at 11:13 pm
I think it depends on what you’re trying to do. If you just make a short video with only video (as shoe did above), then you click record, start talking, and click stop / (or you’re cut off when 12 seconds is done?). Perhaps if you want to put some text in the video it would be a little more complex.
I’d love to try it out soon!
July 26, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Like this concept a lot. If you do one every day as an update / hello, it makes you get right to the point then cuts you off! Wasting neither your time or others time!
July 26, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Seems like a cool idea but how time consuming is it to edit the clips, does it take more time to edit/compress/upload the clip than its worth for 12 seconds of video? Or is the process user-friendly and automated so all I have to do is fire up the webcam and click a button?
July 26, 2008 at 11:47 am
Guess you better cut the intro short.
July 26, 2008 at 9:33 am
Porn is about the only thing you can effectively show in 12 seconds…
I agree with everyone else. It should be 30 seconds.
July 26, 2008 at 8:14 am
20 sec may be much better!
July 26, 2008 at 7:46 am
It’s a micro Video. 24 seconds is not a micro…
haha
July 26, 2008 at 7:17 am
Pretty cool, but why exactly 12 sec? Why not 20?
July 26, 2008 at 6:32 am
its too short. what can you show in 12 seconds???
July 25, 2008 at 11:09 pm
It’s worth a try, but I don’t think it will end up working out too well.
July 25, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Sweet… Now the 15 seconds of video I can record on my cell phone is actually useful for something. Also, like the idea of short. Who can spare a whole minute to watch an online video anyway?
July 25, 2008 at 10:48 pm
probably the reason for 12 seconds…bandwidth would be much lighter than longer vids obviously. Though don’t know if that was a consideration in the name idea…probably more trying to be “unique” than worried about bandwidth.
July 25, 2008 at 10:46 pm
I could see this being a bigger idea more in the future as “mobile video” is more common. So, like, someone on their iphone taking and sending quick video updates rather than texting their tweets.
That and it could be the start of 12 second pron lol.
July 25, 2008 at 10:37 pm
How are you getting around the change in the WHOIS data?
July 25, 2008 at 10:04 pm
I don’t really feel comfortable making videos lol. Plus it will kill the bandwith for a lot of people. Twitter is easier.
July 25, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Should be interesting to see how it is used…
July 25, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Sounds cool, but creating 12 seconds of video seems like a little too much work for this to catch on like twitter… who knows though.
July 25, 2008 at 6:13 pm
You are not supposed to give a lecture , it’s like twitter only few sentences … that’s the idea .
if he made it longer it would just be like youtube …
July 25, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Now this is innovative but I agree with Anty and Wesley, 12 seconds is too short. At least 25 would have been better.
July 25, 2008 at 5:57 pm
12 seconds are a little bit too short, at least for me.
July 25, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Interesting concept, but I’d have done at least double the seconds (24seconds).
July 25, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Great idea and it looks good too.
July 25, 2008 at 4:22 pm
shoe, can i get one of those invites?
July 25, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Sorry, but 12 seconds is just too short for video. 30 seconds would be the minimum. I see where you’re going… 140 characters (twitter) … 12 seconds… but it’s just short, period.
T.
July 25, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I’m not sure. I actually like this concept better than the twitter idea. Video is more personal. It does take a bit more time to create and upload the video, but I think this could work if the same people that hyped up twitter, hype this up. With Jeremy posting about it, it just got a big boost.
July 25, 2008 at 3:51 pm
20seconds.com was probably taken already, as was 15seconds.com, heck even 99seconds.com is taken.
If anyone is interested 115seconds.com is available lol
July 25, 2008 at 3:40 pm
If you’re a fast talker, you could probably fit a lot into 12 seconds.
July 25, 2008 at 3:28 pm
great concept but not enough time for the average user to say what they need to, it would have to be broken up into multiple video posts
July 25, 2008 at 3:11 pm
12 seconds seems like a cool idea. Can’t see it being of the same magnitude of what twitter was though
July 25, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Looks like he had to watch the clock. Definitely need to be a fast talker to deliver your message.
July 25, 2008 at 2:33 pm
I like the way they decided that 12 seconds was the ideal time:
“Because anything longer is boring. The scientists here at the 12seconds dodecaplex have conducted countless hours of research to determine the precise amount of time it takes for boredom or apathy to set in during typical Internet video viewing. Our patent pending Electro-Tear-Duct Prongers have determined that exactly 12 seconds of video is the ideal amount of time to keep anything interesting.”
And you know what? I reckon they have got it spot on!
July 25, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Is 12 seconds even enough? I thing 20 would be good.
July 25, 2008 at 1:49 pm
that doesn’t sound too bad… it would be interesting to see what you do with it.
July 25, 2008 at 1:38 pm
nice concept! cac someone send me an invitaton? my addy is joghurtkultur@me.com
July 25, 2008 at 1:38 pm
12 seconds… hopefully no one uses it “inappropriately “because well we all know – some people only need 12 seconds.
July 25, 2008 at 1:17 pm
So it’s a good thing to only last 12 seconds? =]
July 25, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Interesting. Could be used for one’s elevator pitch if you can get it short enough.
July 25, 2008 at 1:07 pm
What a great concept! I am surprised someone hasn’t thought of this before now.
July 25, 2008 at 1:02 pm
hahah i am waiting for shoe’s reply too
Can we make money with this Shoe?
Oh and btw, have a nice Pagerank Update guys
This is so exciting!
July 25, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Yeah and I have to turn my speakers up just to make out what you’re saying!!
July 25, 2008 at 12:07 pm
funny – like video twitter
July 25, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Too late , the idea is taken
, think of something new now dont do like other people
July 25, 2008 at 12:00 pm
I’ll create a site called 10seconds and then another one called 5seconds and so on.
July 25, 2008 at 11:57 am
Super-cool and I have been waiting for the true Youtube/Twitter mashup. I thought it might be Seesmic — and I love the community-vibe there — but I just don’t have time to follow threads full of 5 minute videos.
Would love to check it out.
July 25, 2008 at 11:53 am
12seconds sounds cool.
I like the concept.
July 25, 2008 at 11:47 am
Not sure if it will catch on BUT I thought twitter was a loser at first as well.
July 25, 2008 at 11:47 am
Thank You
July 25, 2008 at 11:43 am
of course. Niel Patel just posted how he uses them and also an example rotation script for deep linking:

i took quick a look at your tool video. Can you buy these domains, then direct them to your original url?
July 25, 2008 at 11:36 am
I actually did do a preview post a while back… I am trying to keep it on the low so we can properly judge scale but we have had no issues with scaling so far with all the people currently subscribing.
July 25, 2008 at 11:35 am
Ohh ! you still look away when you take videos !! LOOK AT US !
July 25, 2008 at 11:32 am
Why have you not done a post on shoemoney tools? are you trying to keep it on the low?
July 25, 2008 at 11:30 am
Glad you like it. Just remember its in beta and will have some bugs but we have a lot of new features coming.
July 25, 2008 at 11:29 am
Shoe speaking of your tools I signed up yesterday and scored a domain with 85 .edu links and 12 .mil links and today it had over 800 pages indexed. I will be spending a lot of money in shoemoney tools for sure!
