Viddler’s Facebook app goes to Beta

Everyone’s favorite video sharing community Viddler unveiled it’s new Facebook app yesterday to a select number of beta testers. Colin made use of Twitter and Pownce to invite people to the test, and the demand has been quite impressive.

The Viddler app is everything a Facebook app should be; it integrates seamlessly, is easy to use, and provides a legitimate use. It’s essentially a front end to much of what you can do on Viddler already; you can record and post videos from your webcam right in Facebook, you can watch videos your friends have posted, and you can share videos you have posted yourself with visitors to your profile. Nothing new that you couldn’t do before, but now it’s all wrapped up and tightly integrated, so you can access everything Viddler has to offer without having to leave Facebook.

Here’s a video I recorded from within Facebook using the app:

The quality, as usual, is pretty damn good; what’s more, it’s ridiculously simple to record videos like this. Congratulations to the Viddler team; you’ve done another bang up job here and really raised the bar for video on Facebook.

Want an invite to the beta? Add me on Facebook and let me know.
