Hi guys, so the good news is from now on your creativity won’t be limited to GIFs anymore. What I am talking about is now you can comment under your Facebook friend’s blog-posts: until now you can just put a comment, like ‘WOW’, ‘Congratulations’, etc, or later there was option to comment with pictures. This was a new improvement, let’s say a step in evolution of interactions on Facebook. The next quantum leap on this feature was when Facebook allowed GIFs as a reactions. This was a pretty big step that was tuned later with the extension of the like button (heart, sadness, LOL, etc.). If we just dig in on this feature evolution, we realise that everything in social media is moving closer and closer towards one thing, reality (text -> picture -> GIF animation), and there is just one step left to real life: VIDEO.

In Time

I am pretty sure, that most Facebook users didn’t realise that now we can comment with videos as well. And this is the era that we called in the case of VixT, “in time”.

Attach your video comment on Facebook created by VixT app

I am pretty sure, that most Facebook users didn’t realise that now we can comment with videos as well. And this is the era that we called in the case of VixT, “in time”.

Our application now serves on Facebook, so now you don’t need to express yourself with an over-used boring silent GIF. Instead of that you can use your own face, own memories recorded by VixT and you can use your mashup created with the VixT app.

From now on, you can express yourself.

I just remember myself in the near past when I had a beard and bun and now I have shaved face with short hair. The mashup videos with words recorded at different times, background (in my case, the UK and South Korea), clothes, moods, can be pretty impressive, even for me. Now try to imagine this in your case, what reactions will you get after one VixT comment on Facebook if we build it with different words recorded this way.

One more tip

Social media is about vanity (you can agree with me or not) so let me give you one more tip. When your awesome and funny comment is ready, add it under your friend’s post when he or she or gets enough likes and comments. Then everybody who commented or liked her / his post will get a notification with your content. Believe me, it will rock.

Have a good day guys and start playing! Record yourself and create mash-up videos with VixT!

VixT is a free app on Google play and on the App store. VixT is the most effective video editor / mashup creator tool which is easy to use even if you are a shy person or anonymous because in this case you can use the global library (expression recorded and submitted by other users).
