Add a creative comment to this post, and I’ll send you an invitation to 12seconds.tv, currently in private alpha. I haven’t looked to see if they’re eBay’ing them like they did with Gmail invites back in the day.
12seconds is a video status platform. This is the place to record and share brief moments from your life, whether you’re buying shoes, at a concert, or hanging out in your pajamas. Use a webcam or a cell phone to record videos up to 12 seconds long and share them with friends. That’s it. Why 12seconds? Because anything longer is boring. [via]
Emails not accepted. Tweets not accepted. Calls not accepted. Gotta be a comment here. Do we have a deal? Clear? Crystal.
1st 10 creative commenters get a 12seconds.tv invite — I’m sole determinator of what counts as creative. All decisions final. Invites expire in 30 days. If you don’t make the creativity cut, or I run out of invites, you can request your own from the 12seconds people.
cf. compare and contrast with seesmic.com and hellodeo.com; ReadWriteWeb had 500 invites, Shoemoney had 100 invites, Mashable had 35 invites, I only had 10. Only 8 people tried the RWW challenge to say ReadWriteWeb 5x fast.

DJ, I think I should get an invite. Because you know, I have a baby daughter and 12 seconds is about the length of her attention span, and so this would be perfect for me.
rhett
Obvi I should get an invite – new technology? “Here let's give it to Cynthia, she'll try anything?”
Because I need more social networks in my life like Twitter needs more Failwhale. Like Facebook needs more Zuckerberg. Like Digg needs more 13 year olds.
12seconds.tv
Oh yes, it should be for me
I have Twitter, facebook, digg and more
I was even on Hulu before it made it out the door
My MacBook, iPod touch and cell phone never leave my side
Another method of creative expression gives me joy inside
Okay folks! Fast on the keyboard counts for something too.. so there ya go!
4 invites given out, 6 more available to the culture creatives here, er, comment creatives.
12 seconds of fame doesn't quite compare to 15 minutes of fame, but it's better than nothing.
Now, if you'd like an invite to Disqus, they're wide open for sign ups, no invites needed — go to http://disqus.com/login/ and create your account!
Because I need another thing that is not work related to do at work. ^_^
oh please oh please – i need a platform for my newest and now favorite tech toy – Flip Mino. Kinda over YouTube and the like. pluuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeese?
ummm.. @Trina, @Hookiv, ummm… that kinda sorta sounds like begging, and for me, I don't think that quite fits in the category of being creative
maybe you can send a pix?
Forrest Gump would say, “I think I'll go home now.”
There is no better reason to stick with something when the passion has run all out and all indications tell you to move in a different direction.
it's late in the day… and i'm running late again…
but right in front of me is… of all things…
a flying pig!
in this web 2.0 world we live in, i find myself developing the urge to twitter…
no. scratch that. twitter is no good… it's gotta be a twitpic.
after all, seeing is believing, right?
no… i'll have to *offer* more.
i have the technology in my hand.
it's a candybar-sized box of circuitry that was once unfathomable a few short years ago.
no. twitters and twitpics will not be sufficient anymore.
i have the capability of shooting video with my cell phone!
who knew?
i pull out my phone and push the buttons to record this phenomenon!
…
…
…
DANG! 12 seconds too late.
…
if only I hadn't deliberated so long…
I would like an invite!
i'm not interested in fame..as much as broadening the network…and of course 12 seconds vs 15 minutes gives me like 7000 more opportunities…so little time?nah… please send…t
master and jedi dj (the originator of virtual mind tricks), i can make you famous (or infamous) if you give me one by sharing the good news with my network (btw, you're already on my blogroll)…plus, I'll treat you to a venti drink at starbucks and maybe another orange shirt.
also, i know where you live – lol!
I am looking for an invite so I can have my 12 seconds of fame.
