This article is about a company called Particle who designed video software that can be posted as a status update in Facebook and Twitter. The concept is originally aimed for digital calling card online that holds data about someone’s identity on the web. However, the idea becomes a thriving trend for social networking users who like to broadcast every single detail of their lives online.
This is another good example of information design as people always find a new way to communicate by posting microvideos in their Facebook and Twitter accounts. Both sites are web based text and pictures so by adding videos, the online socializing just become more interesting and lively. Microvideos is just another interface. It maybe a short video but it is without doubt an engaging trend because you are not just reading text or looking at pictures with tag lines but you are hearing sounds and watching movements.
