Sure,
YouTube made it easier to get your video online, but what if you want to make a quick video comment? Using a webcam to capture a clip, then upload it to YouTube and wait for it to process just takes too long these days. Now you have
Flixn, your one stop shop for creating and sharing webcam clips. Using Flash, Flixin interfaces directly with your webcam and allows you to record a message. By pressing the record button, a red REC appears in the upper right corner to indicate it is recording, just like an old video camera. When you're done, press stop and you can review your clip.

From here you can keep it or try again. If you decide to keep it, Flixn gives you code for MySpace, Blogger, eBay, typepad, friendster, and a direct URL for posting an embeddable Flash player. An ad appears at the end of your clip a la Revver. The interface is easy and fun. The guys at Flixn sure got this right, and just in time to hop on the social media bandwagon. Oh, and did I mention there is no sign-up process? Just hook up your web cam and go.
Why don't you leave us a video comment to try it out? (via
