Do you Twitter? Do you video-blog? Do you YouTube?

Hictu! is a new way to join discussions and to let the world know your ideas through brief micro-blogging messages or through 30 seconds micro videoblog posts.
Since its first launch a few months ago, Hictu! has evolved deeply, trying to follow our users’ requests and keeping an eye on the new market trends. People want to be part of communities, sharing their ideas, spreading the word about new services, events and other cool news. People want to let the world know what they can do, what they know and want to share their experiences with the rest of the world and video is surely the best way to do that.
The micro-videoblogging experience is totally new to internet users. Twitter brought the “what are you doing” motto to users, who quickly understood how to use it to share their thoughts and ideas with friends and “followers”. Video really brings a new dimension to all of this, since you can now record your video and post it immediately, making it viewable by thousand users worldwide.
You can also create your micro video blog on a specific topic and share the related permalink on your blog and/or on discussion forums, asking people to reply through a text message, a video or even an audio-only message.
After you try it, I can assure you that you’ll become addicted. This is an early beta, so you will surely find bugs and other issues, but more releases are planned for the following weeks, so please stay tuned.
In the meantime, register to Hictu! now and let me know your thoughts.

Pal Luca calls Hictu his “anti-twitter” in an IM to me. Hictu is a video blogging service so check out what Luca has to say. In many ways this looks like a competitor to SightSpeed’s VLIP, but until I get some time (likely after the Vineyard Vows in July) I won’t get first hand experience with this.
Today the weekly update ofHictu!, my company’s micro-videoblogging service, has been released. Here are the new features: bigger video size in the thread view optimized layout, so you can now see more posts in the same page
Twitter and Jaiku, albeit without a mobile-specific client (though they do include a mobile website). It aggregates your RSS feeds. And, oh yeah, they also do video too, just like SightSpeed’s vlip. ReadLuca’s announcementabout it. After having played with it, I have to say it has some promise. But, of course, there are some issues, which I will enumerate. Note that all of these are fixable. The mobile URL really should be m.hictu.com. At least that
