Tout: The Next Big Thing For IM Players?

by Jeff Willy
4 replies
What's up guys?

I recently joined Tout and I found this while watching WWE shows on my computer. It is just like Twitter and Pinterest, but this is more on sharing 15-second videos of any moment you have. John Cena, Shaq and other celebrities have their Tout accounts too.

I even uploaded my first Tout, but may use this for both fun and business. Maybe someone in the near future (or even upcoming months) can create a so-called viral Tout WSO. Hahaha!

Anyone who has Tout accounts too?

    Never heard of them before and just visited the site. It almost looks to me like they're using celebrities to attract more people. Makes me wonder if they are also paying them too.

    I think the site is an ok idea, but isn't that what we have youtube for? Do we really need another video sharing site? (maybe I'm missing something)

    I get the whole 15 second video thing, but that would drive me insane switching from vid to vid all the time. I'd personally rather just hang out on youtube tbo. =]

    ps. I didn't really stay on the site too long so I'm likely missing something here.

      People said the same thing about Twitter's character count at first. Good thing people changed their minds

      The site looks pretty cool, and is a very innovative idea. Only time will tell if it's going to catch fire or not. Looks like they have a really hot start, which is always a good sign.

      It's just like this for example. If you turned on your electric fan, you will "Tout " about it for 15 seconds in your video. Maybe there's some sort of twists here for everyone if we can use Tout for internet marketing purposes, or even some sort of ads for our campaigns. We just have to build followers there.

      It has a "ReTout" feature too, just like Twitter. Also, you may like and comment on every Tout that this guy or gal has.

    What if you did a series of Touts that told a story, and each 15 seconds ended with a cliff hanger? I'm not thinking about this as arak wrong thing, just a fun creative exercise.
