Video Status Updates Add Color To Facebook

Wouldn't a 30-second video clip be a much more efficient way to spice up a Facebook status update than a 60,000-word manifesto? That's the thinking behind the newest application from Color.

Wouldn’t a 30-second video clip be a much more efficient way to spice up a Facebook status update than a 60,000-word manifesto? That’s the thinking behind the newest application from Color.

TechCrunch reported that Color will release an app for the iPhone and Android devices in a few weeks that will allow Facebook users to substitute 30-second video clips, which the vendor calls “visits,” for Facebook status updates.

Alas, visits don’t have audio yet — until such an upgrade happens, you could supplement the video footage with a text comment.

However, the app also allows users to view feeds of photos recently posted to the social network by friends, as well as by the users themselves.
