Making social networking more interactive, Tout, can be used in combination with Facebook and Twitter to create short video Status Updates, captured from your smart phone. Tout’s mission is to deliver a more enhanced, face-to face social experience by sharing “life as is happens” in full color, sound and motion! Tout is a marriage between Twitter (which has a 140 character limit) and YouTube (the video sharing component). This networking outlet connects friends, family and people in a new and exciting way through a 15 second video that records, shares and saves life’s moments. This social media tool can be used for marketing and business purposes or as a way to connect with your network when promoting a social cause of campaign. So next time when you want to connect with your network and share your experiences simply…..TOUT IT!

STEP 1:

Download the TOUT app on your Iphone 3GS, 4, Ipos Touch (4th Generation), iPad 2, iPad 2 Wi-Fi, and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Requires iOS 4.1 or later. You can download the app straight from iTunes on your phone or send it to your phone from your computer.

NOTE:

The Tout application hasn't been programmed yet into BlackBerry and Android phone systems.

STEP 2:

Create a account username and password and begin recording, sharing and saving your experiences with the click of a button! Make sure you have a secure password! How to do that, here.

STEP 3:

After recording you can automatically connect and share your 15 second video to Facebook, Twitter and send to your own email account!

STEP 4:

You can also view your own video content and follow other TOUT's on www.tout.com

TIP:

User friendly and formatted and functions just like Twitter but instead of Status Updates you have LIVE Video Status Updates and you can follow and be followed by others on the TOUT network.

STEP 5:

Now that you understand how Tout works- consider how you could use this for activism. Tout is a great tool for sharing video clips from a protest, capturing something you want to report such as a human rights abuse, or simply spreading the word about a campaign or cause.
