Sure, you can use this great app to send and receive videos to or from friends on any mobile device. But what content are you actually sharing? Here are some unorthodox suggestions:
1. Send a video greeting to your Aunt Matilda. She’s been debating getting the iPhone because she wants to be able to see her darling niece or nephew via FaceTime whenever she feels like it. You are dreading this because a) you don’t want to have to seem sober more than you actually are and b) you don’t want to be giving tech lessons every other day because she can’t figure out how to use her phone. With Thwapr, you can send Aunt Matilda, your nana, or Great Uncle Milton a video greeting whenever you want and save yourself the trouble of having to explain the difference between green and blue text bubbles.
2. Start a vlog for your kitten. On the Internet, cats are the new black. This means you should have made a Facebook fan page for little Mittens yesterday. The world is dying to know whether she plays with yellow string or a catnip mouse. And, of course, if you want Uncle Milt to see your new pet, but not your hundreds of Facebook pictures with red solo cups, you can also send the video straight to his phone.
3. Document your every move. Thwapr allows you to take and send up to 30 minutes of video at a time. Forget live-tweeting! Imagine how much of yourself you can fit into 30 minutes instead of 140 characters! Hashtag that.
4. Share your food. Are you a Pinterest addict? Do you find yourself pinning and liking and repinning recipes or pictures of food? Do you Instagram, tweet and update your Facebook at every meal? Up the ante! Take video of your food. Get that sexy 360 degree angle. Better yet, instead of just sharing a recipe, share the video creating the recipe. Who needs Paula Dean?
5. Spice up your long-distance relationship. This one is pretty self-explanatory. Just don’t accidentally send it to your mom!
6. Recreate The Blair Witch Project. The reboot deserves to be recorded from a cell phone. Had the technology been there in 1999, it would have been that way to begin with. Just think of the up-the-nose shots you could get with your frontward facing camera!
7. Take your friends to the circus! You happen to get tickets to the circus because you’re friends with the ringmaster. You update your Facebook status about this and five of your friends respond with an, “OMG so jealous!” (And why wouldn’t they be?) So you offer to share the experience with them. If you aren’t in a WiFi area, you can’t use FaceTime. If the 3G is shoddy, you can’t use Tango. Thwapr is the solution to all of your circus sharing problems! Take as much video as you want, and send it off! It’s like they’re right there with you. We can’t recreate the smell of elephant poop, though. Learn more about mobile marketing platform online.
