We're stoked to announce 12cast, the simplest way to get your videos to Twitter using the iPhone 3GS.

It's free and available on the app store right now, click here.

Login with your Twitter account, tilt the phone to the left and you're recording!  Title your post and your video is on Twitter.  Our goal was to make getting a video to Twitter as easy as possible. There's a new 12cast award in it for you once you run the app too!

A quick note: If you already have a 12seconds account and have not connected your account with Twitter, you'll want to do that BEFORE you login with 12cast. If the accounts aren't linked, we won't know its you and we'll make a brand new account for you which might cause some confusion. If you've already done this and now have two accounts, shoot us an e-mail and we'll try and work something out for you.

#12cast Contest!

Our goal is to make sure everyone in the whole world knows about 12cast.  So, we're going to have a contest - anyone who uses the hashtag #12cast in any tweet or 12seconds post will get entered to win iPhone data service for 1 year.  For every 12seconds post with #12cast you'll get entered 3 times.  You can enter as many times as you'd like.  Don't have an iPhone?  We'll give you the cold hard cash.  Have an iPhone but want the cold hard cash instead?  Okay.  This contest will end on Friday August 7th at 5PM.  We'll announce the winner on Monday morning.

We need to enlist you to help get this contest started.  So, please tweet:
