@CommsChat Vine seems a bit gimmicky, but let’s see if it has legs (Not literally)#commschat

RT @CommsChat: As usual, look for transcript tomorrow. Next week we’ll be joined by one of our very own from #commschat. Stay tuned for det…

@CommsChat Maybe! Thanks a lot for organising and to everyone else for the interesting chat. Good week all! #commschat

As usual, look for transcript tomorrow. Next week we’ll be joined by one of our very own from #commschat. Stay tuned for details! Nite all

RT @MontseCano Some insurance cos. have made series of fun/ informative vids, many of them feat the same person in all of them. #commschat

After following #CPRS2013 “virtually” @CommsChat learned an awesome, alternative name for brand journalism/content marketing…. #commschat

@CommsChat Some insurance companies have made series of fun/ informative vids, many of them feat the same person in all of them. #commschat

I think that’s the hour. Thx to all who made it to the very end. Maybe vine-style video will take some time be embraced by comms? #commschat

@CommsChat S1jobs, scottish recruiters, did a series of extreme urban cycle videos. Off-topic but branded, creative, memorable #commschat

Speaking of coming @MSocialBusiness column, it’s about how #socialPR elements for a conference EXTEND the influence beyond event. #commschat

My column publishing on Thurs. @CommsChat points to @YoungPRPros videos done for recent #CPRS2013 conference (housed on @YouTube) #commschat

RT @CommsChat: Ok so I guess our last topic is: What are some good examples/uses of effective branded video content? #commschat

Ok so I guess our last topic is: What are some good examples/uses of effective branded video content? #commschat

RT @adamrubins you can still tag video and optimise search potential. Video and images the most powerful social content #commschat

@CommsChat you can still tag video and optimise search potential. Video and images the most powerful social content #commschat

Also because you can’t search video in the same way that you can text, tweets, posts, etc. #commschat

@MontseCano @CommsChat Excellent point. Given relative newness, cld be a skills/training gap for many (myself included!) #commschat

RT @MontseCano: @ncardwell @CommsChat Also knowledge? #commschat

RT @CommsChat: @MontseCano @CommsChat #video Haha apparently so. Video: the weird English toast spread of shareable content #commschat

RT @CommsChat @MontseCano @CommsChat #video Haha apparently so. Video: the weird English toast spread of shareable content #commschat

@ncardwell @CommsChat Also knowledge? #commschat

Here’s a good one, T4: How does video content impact a brand’s SEO potential?#commschat

@MontseCano @CommsChat #video Haha apparently so. Video: the weird English toast spread of shareable content #commschat

@MontseCano @CommsChat I wonder if it is the concept some comms ppl dislike or a lack of platform/resources to use it? #commschat

@CommsChat I didn’t know #video could be like Marmite, haha! It’s curious.#commschat

@CommsChat I like Vine, but instagram video is easier to use and has more editing capabilities #commschat

@CommsChat Simply put instagram added video to stay current and be better than twitter #commschat

Yet, we see such great uses of video for IC through the IVCA and Communicate’s Storyboard feature @njbclark #commschat

At #thebigyak I talked to many IC-ers who either loved or hated video. There didn’t seem to be a middle ground #commschat

RT @CommsChat: I for one, am a total Vine neophyte, but I do enjoy a good cat video… #commschat

Any IC experts out there who want to use vine or already are? #commschat

@CommsChat Being able to set a G+ Hangout to On Air & broadcast it through YouTube has opened up a huge amount of possibilities #commschat

@CommsChat Like all media, different channels for different purposes. Vine is informal and engaging, YT more set-piece channel #commschat

@StephsBubble @CommsChat True. Those bugs are killing the product. Shame.#commschat

Strategy is important for all online content. T3 specifically looks at IC + vid: How can internal communicators use social video? #commschat

@CommsChat for me #Vine is easier to use until the instabugs are fixed. YouTube’s role is videos with real purpose not moments #commschat

@CommsChat I guess YT is more established and versatile. It might depend on strategy and resources. #commschat

@jarrodwilliams @CommsChat Agree. Love the edit on #Instagram but its still buggy. If either/both could master edits they’d win #commschat

Why would a company choose to use #vine vs Instagram video vs Youtube vs its own internal networks? #commschat

@jarrodwilliams @ncardwell @CommsChat I reckon so. After all, we’re in early stages of this, so something else will come along. #commschat

@StephsBubble @CommsChat I know it’s one I the USPs, but I’d like more control over the functionality of #vine #commschat

@jarrodwilliams @CommsChat I think it definitely has its place for those who want to share a ‘Moment’ vs a full on Vlog #commschat

RT @jarrodwilliams: @StephsBubble @CommsChat exactly, but will the short video appeal continue, or will it need frequent reboots. #commschat

@StephsBubble @CommsChat exactly, but will the short video appeal continue, or will it need frequent reboots. #commschat

@ncardwell @CommsChat @jarrodwilliams Time will say, but my guess is that they’ll evolve or something else will override it. #commschat

@CommsChat at the moment, trendy. They mean brands can show some creativity. As for here to stay, I can’t see a long future. #commschat

So let’s move on to T2: Will this impact brand communications? Content marketing?#commschat

@jarrodwilliams @CommsChat let’s not forget #YouTube here too #commschat

@CommsChat Haha, that’s really good. #commschat

@CommsChat @jarrodwilliams V.interesting distinction. Maybe here to stay but only as 1 type of online video communications? #commschat

@jarrodwilliams @CommsChat Vine is to Twitter as InstaVideo is to Facebook. Short & Sweet vs For those who simply want more #commschat

@jarrodwilliams @CommsChat Good question. Are mini Vine-esque video clips trendy or here to stay? #commschat

So then the second part of the question: Why did Instagram choose to add video content sharing? #commschat

@CommsChat the question should really be, does vine have longevity? video content is essential, atm vine is more about virality. #commschat

@CommsChat for example https://t.co/NLMPj5d0B6 #commschat 🙂

RT @ncardwell Photos convey an end result videos can show a process. I think this can add to integrity of brand communications? #commschat

Photos convey an end result, videos can show a process. I think this can add to integrity of brand communications? #commschat

@CommsChat you can capture multiple elements in one view #commschat

RT @StephsBubble: @CommsChat video adds that extra dimension that a photo only can’t convey #commschat

#commschat

What makes it different than sharing photos if you’re a brand? Why choose Vine?#commschat

@CommsChat hello #commschat

RT @StephsBubble @CommsChat video adds that extra dimension that a photo only can’t convey #commschat

@CommsChat video is integral to everything @BromfordGroup do. That’s why we have @Sam_Raffers to keep our content current #commschat

RT @_digital_impact: This evening’s #commschat is all about social video – #vineand new video on #instagram – join in, just started!

@MontseCano @CommsChat Buzzfeed also is big on not letting cat people feel like social pariahs haha http://t.co/6WTSWoXMz4 #commschat

Hello out there…out there.. out there… #commschat

@CommsChat A web psychologist mentioned that we like cats make us feel good while online. #commschat

I for one, am a total Vine neophyte, but I do enjoy a good cat video… #commschat

Our first topic is: Why has Instagram added video? What role in comms do Vine and video sharing already play? #commschat

So as always, intro if its your first chat and don’t forget the hashtag #commschat
