Announcing Privacy and Special Deals for the 140Conf!

First of all, did you notice that we redesigned the entire site?  Yep, the whole thing.  We announced it last week.  Check it out.

Just click on the daily challenge button in that top action bar for all the fun you could possibly have in 12seconds (or something like that).

Privacy

Ever wanted to make a video and not have it shot out all through the interwebs?  You know, one of those special videos that’s really just for your friends and maybe not your co-workers or your mom.  At long last we are introducing privacy features to 12seconds.  Here’s the way it works:

• Private things can only be seen by people that YOU follow and who follow YOU.  Other people who follow you, but that you don’t follow back won’t see your private posts
• You can choose private or public on the webcam recorder or the uploader
• You can indicate “default privacy” in your settings which means that all of your mobile posts, uploads and webcam posts are by default, private (note that this is the only way to keep your mobile posts private)
• Private posts don’t tweet and don’t end up in your public timeline (your channel)
• YOU can see everything you make in YOUR channel but others will just see your public 12s
• All of your current posts are set to public
• You can set a public post to private later (just click the editing tool (the pencil icon) in the feed
