Tweetie for Mac added an interesting new feature yesterday “ the ability to create quick video tweets within the app, using just the Mac ‘s built-in iSight camera.  It ‘s very easy to use “ probably too easy to use, because it encourages even dorks like me to give it a little try.

I gave it a quick go yesterday, rambling a little about the cool new Quantum Pool app, and fumbling around trying to show it off a little.  I know other Twitter clients have had a video capability for a while, but Tweetie is my favorite on the Mac and co-favorite on the iPhone “ along with Twitterrific.

So with all the lovely ‘next iPhone model ‘ rumors that we ‘ve been seeing, and the growing consensus that video recording is virtually a lock to be included in a new model, I ‘m thinking / hoping that this new video tweet feature will also come to Tweetie for the iPhone later this summer. 

I think it ‘s not a feature I ‘d use super-often, same as the TweetMic audio tweet app, but I like having them available and think they ‘re good fun to use.  I ‘d probably use both quite a bit more if I wasn ‘t so dorky when using them.

If any of you would like to check out my dork-tacular first effort on Tweetie video tweets, you can find it HERE.  I might occasionally try out more of these if there ‘s an app that lends itself to it
