Testing out the Telly (formerly TwitVid) Smartphone Video App

Carl Stevens from WBZ is using Telly to share video. He's a news reporter on WBZ radio.

We first met back in 2009, and he showed me the equipment he used to cover a story.

We'll be on a panel together at Northeastern on April 3rd, Learn How to Create Your Next Coolest Co-op Video.

Here's a recent Telly tweet from Carl:

THOUGHTS
I wanted to give the app a try to see if you could hold the camera in landscape mode to shoot a video.

Yes you can.

You can also customize the content of the tweet to give readers in indication of what's in the video.

These are two ways to make the Telly experience better for your followers.

UPDATE:

I've got a page on Telly:



Looks like Telly is posting links to all the videos I share on twitter.

Interesting.

Not sure how I feel about that.
