VYou: video killed the twitter star
The internet has spawned a whole flurry of different ways for
people around the world to communicate, such as
foursquare and VYou is no exception.
Although it was founded in October last year, VYou is still in
its infancy with only around 400 members and still in its Beta
stage.
Simply put, VYou is a video question and answer website. It
seems to be a mix of the popular text-based question and answer
website formspring and the world’s second largest search
engine, YouTube.
After signing up, members have to wait for around 48 hours to
get full access. Once approved, users can then record responses to
questions as well as a ‘waiting video’ which plays on a
loop on their profile.
Although YouTube already has a ‘video responses’
section under each video, VYou seems to be directly aimed at the
individual profile. This could be the perfect opportunity for
celebrities to indulge in a little PR, which would attract public
members by the hordes.
As mentioned above, VYou is still relatively young, but Estate
Agents could see this as potential opportunity. By answering
questions, Estate Agents have the opportunity to show-off their
expert knowledge on local properties as well as the industry.
A possibility that may not be for everyone, for the time it
could be best to keep our ears to the ground.
