VYou is a service that just debuted today, and it’s one who I believe is extremely interesting. It lets anyone make a profile and answer questions via short videos. It’s very Twitter, in a sense. Here’s why.
When Twitter first launched, it was all about random people posting mundane updates about what they’d to eat (burritos) and where they’re eating it (the rest room). Only your pals care about that. But when celebrities, news outlets and folks with information started tweeting, then the platform became more about consumption of data than creating it. People didn’t feel compelled to dump their thoughts into the medium unless they actually had something to assert.
VYou seems pretty similar. Straight away, individuals are going to wonder what the hell normal people do with it. However, once celebrities get on there and start answering questions from their fans, or when important people start using it as a medium to present their opinion on things that doesn’t quite fit anywhere else (like Twitter, or their websites or whatever). There seems some promise in VYou for that sort of discussion.
Whether or not normal people could have enough questions that need answering-” What’s the concentrate on that scar?” -is uncertain. But I’m sure that won’t stop people from doing it anyway.
Here’s my profile. Inquire from me some questions. [ VYou ]
