Text of the page (random words):
her the top or the bottom of the column it s our singular goal to provide an application that makes both creating and watching short pithy videos incredibly easy tweetdeck allows us to fulfill that goal by creating an environment whose purpose is to make more sense out of our increasingly busy socialmediasphere i made up a word in other words those who use tweetdeck will love it even more and if you haven t downloaded tweetdeck yet you really should all versions of tweetdeck will be updated over the next week or two with this functionality built in but if you want to play with it right now you have to download the latest version right from the tweetdeck site so go download it and let us know what you think the 12seconds authoring api it s time for us to release our authoring api for 12seconds this means that you can integrate recording 12seconds into your site the same way tweetdeck has done 12seconds is great fun on our site but allowing others to embed the recording functionality has limitless potential video commenting video contests video story collaborations video music mashups whatever you want to do with it have at it if you want access to this api you have to let us know so we can get you set up you re going to need a parnter id you can find more information about the authoring api as well as contact us to receive a partner id here alright get out there and make some 12s 18 comments posted in api news tagged tweetdeck how to get people to upload a profile image posted on january 28 2009 by 12seconds 11 comments hey social media expert types here s a little tip from your friends at 12seconds about profile images if you re creating a social network or other social application that allows the user the ability to upload a personal profile image make sure that the default image is as stupid as possible many sites still try to make their default icons generic or even attractive many people like the brown twitter icon for instance others become apathetic when they see some boring grey box with a simple face or emoticon such as what yahoo uses the 12seconds default profile image is stupid it is actually a photo of me beach when i was about 16 i made it black and white and slapped a 12 on top who wants that guy as your profile image that s right no one a little story about this image it was 1986 or something i was living in santa cruz but going to high school in aptos which is a little south of santa cruz aptos high was having their annual kowabunga beach ball dance you see aptos like santa cruz is a beach town because of this we have to endure clever ideas such as calling a dance the kowabunga beach ball for similar reasons and because my last name is beach i had to endure being called things such as beached whale beach butt or nude beach on this occasion in 1986 my friends and i decided not to attend this beach ball because that was what other people did we were happy to drive around aimlessly tipping garbage cans over and stealing garden gnomes however even this kind of thing gets boring so that evening we decided to crash the dance doing so was easier than we expected and we learned something important about crashing events all you have to do is look like you know what you re doing in future years this got us back stage at oingo boingo rem and u2 concerts among others it also got us beer so we snuck in had a photo taken and snuck out in all this took about 5 minutes and now this photo is used as your default profile image you are welcome everything about this photo is stupid how we took it why we took it and who we were because of this it is the ideal photo to use for a default profile image i should mention that there are other 12seconds users in this photo dickhollywood is the guy in the blue plaid shirt and thund3rbox is squatting in the pink jeans flashing the odd gang sign and of course i am holding the beach ball in all my glory i hope this little story has given you something to think about as you create your social media experiences sure you can link to other services like flickr or facebook to use their profile images but remember that people need an incentive to do so 11 comments posted in news santa cruz is super posted on january 18 2009 by 12seconds 3 comments well it s been way too long since our last post i think we need to update this thing more so i ll try my best to give you all something new more often since the last post we went to the crunchies and got runner up for best bootstrapped startup that was cool it was nice that dave mcclure was giving out the award since he was one of the first people we spoke with after we launched the pre alpha for last years sxsw he gave us great advice over bbq ribs on a rainy day in austin he said to never tire of your focus but get plenty of rest because it s good to be awake if you can at least that s what we think he said it was hard to tell because of all the rib eating and stuff so here we are still bootsrappin and still in santa cruz the title of this post is santa cruz is super and here s why in santa cruz they write a big story about you for the front of the business section of the local paper just for getting runner up for an award beat that san fracisco or san jose it s not gonna happen but it does in santa cruz check it out 12seconds wins runner up at 2008 crunchies this is a special place the people are kind and supportive i was actually part of the first internet startup here in town iuma it was 1993 we d get people walking in off the street asking what they could do to help we d also get people coming in and asking if we were the internet but people were so cool it feels very similar now especially because of nextspace where we keep a tiny office nextspace is an awesome c0 working space right down town it houses dozens of engineers designers lawyers service providers architects and startups our friends uservoice are right down the hall it s an exciting place we get people stopping by all the time to ask us questions or to offer their help it really feels like home santa cruz is 45 minutes away from sunnyale and 80 minutes away from downtown sf it s just close enough to stay connected but far away enough to stay sane it s a good place to be i recommend it 3 comments posted in news the crunchies please vote for us posted on december 30 2008 by 12seconds 1 comment 12seconds has been nominated for a crunchie award best bootstrapped startup this is very exciting for us let me get this out of the way now please vote for 12seconds you can vote once per day so keep coming back and cast a vote until the polls close bootstrapped in this sense means a company that hasn t raised more than 100 000 in our case we haven t raised a penny there have been many articles written about us and our approach lately but check out what robert scoble has to say in his post from 12 27 30 minutes at 12seconds tv shows future of reality based startups scoble came by the day after christmas to hang out and to see what we re up to i ll embed the video below it s pretty cool scoble has been very gracious the video i shot with 12seconds tv is a good example of real entrepreneurialism that will lead to good things for all of us it s been quite a year sol and i realized today that we first met up and talked about the idea of 12seconds then 10seconds last december 19th this was the third time i had ever seen him we went to a pub and just started chatting i had an idea and sol liked it we ended the evening deciding that we re going to do this thing we weren t sure how but we were going to do it no matter what the thing that s important to understand is that how we ended up making this happen is all sol we could have built out several ideas but they all would have been built the same sol s vision was to bring the community of santa cruz geeks together and use our friends and networks to accomplish what normally costs several hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions for burritos barter and a share of the success sol is an amazing dude so is jacob the result of all of this has been incredible a rad co working space has been created i have more friends in santa cruz than i could have imagined and more startups are coming to santa cruz to take advantage of the talent and atmosphere beach kyte tv appkey marbachviewerembedded uri channels

for nextspace our friendly neighborhood co working space let it be known nextspace can handle a party the best thing about the party was seeing so many 12seconds users in person it s always a bit of a

turned out in person and in spirit this was the first of many and yes it s true that 12 didn t actually launch anything official thursday but don t touch that dial good things are on the way here is a

hard to get ready for election 08 we re partnering with current who will be broadcasting election day news and happenings part of what they re broadcasting is going to be created by us the 12ers of
