A new free iPhone app wants to take the ease of editing and sharing photos that Instagram has perfected and bring it to video.
Viddy is a fun way to take short videos (15 seconds or less), trim them, add pre-set effects and then share the fun with your friends via Twitter, Facebook and/or YouTube. The app shows Foursquare and Tumblr as “coming soon,” so don’t feel left out if you are a fan of either of those services. Viddy also has its own service, so if you don’t feel like sharing with anyone but other Viddy users, you’re in luck.
It occurred to me what a clever name this app has — “vidi” in Latin is pronounced the same way and translates as “I have seen.” That’s a very apt description of what Viddy does, telling your friends and followers what you’ve seen with your eyes and your iPhone.
