Twitter’s changed the world in 140 characters.  Now they reckon they can do the same with video in just six seconds.  Twitter CEO Dick Costolo sent the first ever video tweet (v-tweet? vid-tweet? what do you call it?) from the social networking site today, as the release of their new video app, Vine, approaches. The app will allow users to upload videos directly to Twitter, so long as they are no longer than six seconds.

As of yet, we’re unsure of how well this will take off, but they said that about Twitter, and look at it now.  But it has made us think about the challenge of creating a six second business promo video. We’re up for the challenge, if nothing else.

Take a look at the first ever video tweet on ‘how to make steak tartare’ here.
