Animoto: Photo + Video + Slideshow [#FollowFriday]

April 13, 2012

The #FollowFriday Series highlights today’s up-and-coming, active and all-around noteworthy Twitter accounts the AudioAcrobat staff deems worthy of following; while at the same time peering deeper into the soul(-cial media) of each account and providing a brief-yet-informative analysis.

Animoto

Welcome back for the fifteenth #FollowFriday tweet / WordPress mashup of 2012 here on the AudioAcrobat Weblog!

Where else can you go to combine your photos (yes, Instagram users, we’re looking your direction), video clips and music into a magnificent video slideshow presentation in just a couple of minutes?  You could try finding an alternate solution, and might even come up with something usable, but we can almost certainly guarantee it pales in comparison to the product showcased in this week’s #FF feature.

In today’s post, we will dive deeper into the tweets of NYC-based cinematic artificial intelligence service, Animoto (@animoto) and the Twitter accounts they have chosen to follow … a mirror, if you will, into the soul(-cial media) behind a company who jokingly plans to acquire Google within the next year.

Yep.  That’s right, we just said it … “soulcial media”.  We also said, “a company who jokingly plans to acquire Google within the next year” in the same sentence.  How do we know it’s a joke?  It looks like you’ll just have to take our word for it…
