Update your friends and family in only 12 Seconds

Most people are familiar with the social networking site Twiiter which allows you to post updates to your followers about what you’re doing. Twitter limits these update messages to only 140 characters.
SMS Messaging is another popular form of communicating quickly with friends and family. It also places a limit on the number of characters you can use for your message. A text message is limited to 160 characters.
Today I learned of a web site “12-Seconds” which allows you to record video updates to your friends and family but the catch is like the other methods of communication I’ve mentioned, 12-Seconds places a time limit on how long your video message can be. You guessed it, each message must be under 12 seconds long.
Here’s why 12-Seconds limits your messages.
Because anything longer is boring. The scientists here at the 12 seconds 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.
You record your 12-second messages directly on the 12-Seconds web site or via your mobile phone (you then e-mail it your special e-mail address.)
